Comments about Dylan Thomas
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave...
Before I Knocked
Before I knocked and flesh let enter,
With liquid hands tapped on the womb,
I who was as shapeless as the water
That shaped the Jordan near my home
Was brother to Mnetha's daughter
And sister to the fathering worm.
I who was deaf to spring and summer,
Who knew not sun nor moon by name,
How one could imagine in such depth, OMG! He is more than genius! ! One of my best Poet
Dylan Thomas a genius poet in every sense
I'm a true fan of his work

They shall have stars... Nice piece! Sylva.
Beyond me. Much of this poet's works are too difficult for my poor mind to comprehend.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light. ''
'Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night' (1952)
what an ingenious use of words and imagery!
Dylan is a universal poet, his poetry is known in many different countries, and I think this would please his soul, as he certainly wasn't recognized in his own country in his lifetime. America discovered him. I've written a poem to him on his 100 birthday. I'll enter it on poem-hunter another day. His voice outshines anyone I've ever heard, his readings were apparantly magical, Richard Burton does well, but can't match Dylan's own voice, so do try and listen to him - you won't be sorry.

I would have to be a genius like Dylan to express how wonderful his poetry is to the soul.

My favourite poet. Lament is currently my favourite but also love 'The Force That Through The ~Green Fuse Drives the Flower'. Even better ready by Richard Burton.
The greatest poet of the 20th Century. 'Fern Hill' is my personal favourite.
Please read my biographical poem 'Portrait of Dylan'.
