Seventeen whiskeys. A record, I think.
Dylan Thomas

Do not go gently into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas
Image
A horrid alcoholic explosion scatters all my good intentions like bits of limbs and clothes over the doorsteps and into the saloon bars of the tawdriest pubs.
Dylan Thomas
Image
And I rose In rainy autumn And walked abroad in a shower of all my days.
Dylan Thomas
Image
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down, And death shall have no dominion.
Dylan Thomas
Image
Families, like countries, take their prophets unkindly, but a verse-speaker in the house is dishonor to be hooted.
Dylan Thomas
Image
The moment of a miracle is unending lightning.
Dylan Thomas
Image
Oh, isn't life a terrible thing, thank God?

A good poem is a contribution to reality.
