Additional quotes by R. S. Thomas

There are cries in the dark at night
As owls answer the moon

I am like a tree, From my top boughs I can see The footprints that led up to me.

"Sunlight's a thing that needs a window Before it enter a dark room. Windows don't happen." So two old poets, Hunched at their beer in the low haze Of an inn parlour, while the talk ran Noisily by them, glib with prose.
