Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

More quotes by Dylan Thomas

A good poem helps to change the shape and significance of the universe, helps to extend everyone's knowledge of himself and the world around him.

The joy and function of poetry is, and was, the celebration of man, which is also the celebration of God.

Poetic Manifesto (1951)

After the first death, there is no other.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

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.

Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night (1952)
