Additional quotes by Dylan Thomas

Which is the world? Of our two sleepings, which / Shall fall awake when cures and their itch / Raise up this red-eyed earth?

Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means, Time held me green and dying Though I sang in my chains like the sea. - Dylan Thomas
