My tears are like the quiet drift
Of petals from some magic rose;
And all my grief flows from the rift
Of unremembered skies and snows.
I think, that if I touched the earth,
It would crumble;
It is so sad and beautiful,
So tremulously like a dream.
Watching the earth rotate with these things in mind..of grief and sadness...would surely make everything you touch crumble...Nice poem! -sadsmile-
This may be my favorite poem of all time. It makes no reference to a clown or a moon. And it has such a dramatic feeling in only 8 lines. Astonishing.
So deeply poignant yet beautiful poem embellished with crystalline images. A poetic gem.
My tears are like the quiet drift Of petals from some magic rose; And all my grief flows from the rift Of unremembered skies and snows. Great imagination. tony
Dylan Thomas would turn in his grave upon hearing this terrible rendition. It starts very, very, very badly then quickly fades. So truly diabolical.
The voice over is anachronistic. Such a beautiful poem ruined and read by an uninitiated reader.
A poem that is short and sweet by Dylan's poetry standards, but still delivers a tragic yet beautifully expressed message to every reader. Diolch yn fawr Dylan.

I would like to translate this poem
Clown in The Moon This Dylan's poem Has the beauty Of the water falls You want to catch each drop brfore it falls- You want to reach each word As, it belongs to you; I 'd like to say deeper than that It is you what you sense And... yours.
