Poetry:
I see the boys of summer
When once the twilight locks no longer
Before I knocked
My hero bares his nerves
Our eunuch dreams
When, like a running grave
In the beginning
I fellowed sleep
I dreamed my genesis
My world is pyramid
I, in my intricate image
This bread I break
Incarnate devil
Today, this insect
The seed-at-zero
Here in this spring
Do you not father me
Out of the sighs
Was there a time
Now
Why east wind chills
A grief ago
Ears in the turrets hear
How soon the servant sun
Foster the light
Should lanterns shine
I have longed to move away
Find meat on bones
Grief thief of time
And death shall have no dominion
Then was my neophyte
Altarwise by owl-light
We lying by seasand
O make me a mask
The spire cranes
After the funeral
Not from this anger
How shall my animal
On no work of words
A saint about to fall
'If my head hurt a hair's foot'
Twenty-four years
The conversation of prayers
Poem in October
This side of the truth
To Others than You
Love in the Asylum
Unluckily for a death
Into her lying down head
Do not go gentle into that good night
Deaths and Entrances
A Winter's Tale

Autor

Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) was a Welsh poet and writer whose works include the poems "Do not go gentle into that good night" and "And death shall have no dominion", as well as the "play for voices" Under Milk Wood. He also wrote stories and radio broadcasts such as A Child's Christmas in Wales and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. He became widely popular in his lifetime and remained so after his death at the age of 39 in New York City. By then, he had acquired a reputation, which he had encouraged, as a "roistering, drunken and doomed poet".
