The Reverend Eli Jenkins, in Bethesda House, gropes out of bed into his preacher's black, combs back his bard's white hair, forgets to wash, pads barefoot downstairs, opens the front door, stands in the doorway and, looking out at the day and up at the eternal hill, and hearing the sea break and the gab of birds, remembers his own verses and tells them softly to empty Coronation Street that is rising and raising its blinds.

Who pulls the townhall bellrope but blind Captain Cat? One by one, the sleepers are rung out of sleep this one morning as every morning. And soon you shall see the chimneys' slow upflying snow as Captain Cat, in sailor's cap and seaboots, announces to-day with his loud get-out-of-bed.

Through his vivid imagery, musical language, and profound themes, Dylan Thomas captures the interplay between life and death, the loss of innocence, and the passage of time.

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

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.

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.

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.

The poetry of Dylan Thomas is shaped by a wide spectrum of emotional experiences, from childhood wonder and romantic desire to grief, fear, and spiritual longing.

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?

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.

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 …

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!
