Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas
Though they go mad they shall be sane, though they sink through the sea they shall rise again though lovers be lost love shall not and death shall have no dominion.
Dylan Thomas
Dark is a way and light is a place, Heaven that never was Nor will be ever is always true Poem on His Birthday
Dylan Thomas
The photograph is married to the eye, Grafts on its bride one-sided skins of truth.
Dylan Thomas
Youth calls to age across the tired years: 'What have you found,' he cries, 'what have you sought? 'What have you found,' age answers through his tears, 'What have you sought.
Dylan Thomas
Reading one's own poems aloud is letting the cat out of the bag. You may have always suspected bits of a poem to be overweighted, overviolent, or daft, and then, suddenly, with the poet's tongue around them, your suspicion is made certain.
Dylan Thomas
[I'm]a freak user of words, not a poet.
Dylan Thomas
Whatever talents I possess may suddenly diminish or suddenly increase. I can with ease become an ordinary fool. I may be one now. But it doesn't do to upset one's own vanity.
Dylan Thomas
I think, that if I touched the earth, It would crumble It is so sad and beautiful, So tremulously like a dream.
Dylan Thomas
