  7. The poetry of Dylan Thomas stands as a powerful challenge to the rational modern sensibility that dominated much of twentieth-century intellectual culture.

  8. Repetition in Dylan Thomas’s poetry is not mere ornament but a structural force that intensifies emotion, amplifies rhythm, and builds dramatic pressure within the poem.

  9. The enduring appeal of Dylan Thomas lies in his ability to articulate complexity without dissolving it into neat solutions. His poems confront fundamental questions about life, death, time, faith, and language.

    Thinking this "old character" status needs to be wrung, oh so so much.

    I'm blaming Dylan Thomas and "Under Milk Wood" for putting these sorts of ideas in my head.
    It's clear we all need to let the Milk Wood nature emerge.

  14. The ethics of listening

    Things come to be, and what they are is nothing but the way that they move; there is nothing that is that is not subject to change and dissolution. To “rage against the dying of the light” (Dylan Thomas) is to fail to see that the only way to live is to stay out of the way of what is coming to be, and let it become what it is to be.

    If we listen to the stream, rather than trying to dam its flow, we find that we ourselves are no more than fleeting eddies on the bright water, and what is true is what the moment calls out. Then ethics is for us no longer a matter of what is written, but what is heard.

    Light is only visible in the shadows; life needs death as up needs down. To see this for itself – see it, rather than working it out – dissolves our bitter grasp on outcomes, and leaves us free to find out the grain in things. To surrender to change – yes, and to decay – is to become free to live inside the pattern of what is necessary, rather than scratching at the surface of facticity.

    Strangely, this is in no sense defeatism. Our freedom to act in accordance with what is might just as well involve us as the means of change ourselves: the tyrant’s brittle effort to resist the necessity of change is worn away to sand in the stream, carried down by the flow of what is true, by the slow processes of care and kindness.

    To sit still, listening, still enough that the fragility and contingency of all that appears to be becomes clear, like the settling out of sediment in a pond that has been disturbed but is now at rest, is to find our own current in the stream of what is coming to be. If we do, then the smallest moment opens on to the limitless field that is the ground itself. There is nothing to wait for: what is is this.

  16. Dylan Thomas wrote some of the best-known English-language poems. However, as a student, he also engaged in repeated plagiarism. What does that mean?

  18. Dylan Thomas' command of rhythm, repetition, alliteration, and vowel music creates poetry that resonates physically and emotionally. Sound in his work is not an accessory but a driving force that shapes meaning, memory, and feeling.

  19. Dylan Thomas – Auszüge aus seinen Weihnachtserinnerungen

    … ein, zwei Nächte vor dem Heiligen Abend, als auch nicht der leiseste Schimmer von Mondschein die geheimnisvollen, weiß durchwehten Gassen erhellte. Am Ende einer langen Straße war ein Weg, der zu einem großen Haus führte, und wir stolperten in jener Nacht durch die Finsternis hinaus, jeder einzelne von uns voll Angst, jeder für alle Fälle mit einem Stein in der Hand, aber wir alle zu tapfer, um auch nur ein Wort davon zu sagen.

    Durch die Alleebäume blies der Wind mit Stimmen wie von alten, unheimlichen Männern, die vielleicht Schwimmhäute an den Füßen hatten und in Höhlen ächzten und  keuchten. Wir erreichten den schwarzen gewaltigen Klotz des Hauses.

    „Was sollen wir ihnen singen?“ flüsterte Dan.

    „Hört die Engel singen schon? Weihnachten kommt nur einmal im Jahr?“

    „Nein“, sagte Jack, „wir singen `Der gute König Wenzeslaus`. Ich zähle bis drei.“

    „Eins, zwei, drei“, und wir begannen zu singen, mit Stimmen, die hoch und weit entfernt klangen in der schneegetünchten Finsternis rund um das Haus, in dem niemand wohnte, den wir kannten. Wir standen eng nebeneinander, dicht vor der dunklen Türe.

    Der gute König Wenzeslaus

    sah am St.-Stephans-Feste …

    Und dann kam eine kleine trockene Stimme, wie die Stimme von jemand, der schon lange nicht mehr gesprochen hat, und stimmte plötzlich in unseren Gesang ein: eine kleine trockene Stimme durch das Schlüsselloch.Und als wir wieder aufhörten zu rennen, da waren wir vor unserem eigenen Haus …

  23. Yesterday I visited Dylan Thomas' boathouse and writing shed in #Laugharne for the first time. It's a ditty little museum but very charming! Plus it was a VERY beautiful day for it.

    I'll freely admit I knew very little about Dylan Thomas before visiting, and now I know a smidge more (including what he sounded like). Winning, right?

    An excellent @thecwordpodcast excursion all in all!

  25. Dylan Thomas Boathouse Triumphs in ‘Win an Architect’ Initiative

    The initiative seeks out the most innovative client briefs and architectural proposals that enhance, showcase, and celebrate culture outside London. A design concept worth up to £12,000, devised by Wignall & Moore’s award-winning RIBA Chartered architects, is the grand prize for the lucky winner.

    The Boathouse, perched on a cliff overlooking the Taf estuary, was the residence of renowned Welsh poet Dylan Thomas during the final four years of his life. It is here that he penned some of his most significant works, including parts of “Under Milk Wood.” Today, the Boathouse is a member of CofGâr, the Carmarthenshire County Council museums and arts service, attracting visitors from around the world.

    The design concept prize aims to make the Boathouse more accessible and enhance visitor experience by reimagining its entrance, expanding indoor space, and utilising the old Harbour’s potential.

    Councillor Hazel Evans, Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport, and Tourism, expressed her enthusiasm:

    “Securing the ‘Win an Architect’ prize is a great achievement for the Dylan Thomas Boathouse and CofGâr. This support will help us improve the visitor experience while preserving the Boathouse’s unique character.”

    The partnership with Wignall & Moore will extend through 2025, focusing on sustainable enhancements that respect the historical importance of the Boathouse and preserve its legacy for future generations.

    A free creative writing workshop with award-winning poet and playwright Menna Elfyn was held on 25 January, kicking off a yearlong series of events and workshops which will be held at the Boathouse. Share your ideas and help shape the future of this unique space. Secure your spot in advance on the CofGâr website.
