An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do. — Dylan Marlais Thomas

He who seeks work finds rest.

"I make one image—though 'make' is not the right word; I let, perhaps, an image be 'made' emotionally in me … A stranger has come To share my room in the house not right in the head, A girl mad as birds Bolting the night of the door with her arm her plume. Strait in the mazed bed She deludes the heaven-proof house with entering clouds Yet she deludes with walking the nightmarish room, At large as the dead, Or rides the imagined oceans of the male wards. She has come possessed Who admits the delusive light through the bouncing wall, Possessed by the skies She sleeps in the narrow trough yet she walks the dust Yet raves at her will On the madhouse boards worn thin by my walking tears. And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last I may without fail Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars. Love In the Asylum Strait has two meanings: a narrow passage, a position of difficulty; need. Possible reference to his wife, Caitlin Her actions lead her to be sent to a madhouse Regardless of the woman’s insanity, the man loves her and is willing to go the distance for her Both can be associated to feeling of helplessness, anxiety, sorrow, etc.

A good poem is a contribution to reality. Would you say that Dylan Thomas fits the time era of 'modern poets?' Does his poem show modern-like objects or feelings? Do the quotations(top of every slide)help summarize general views/beliefs Thomas had? What do you learn from them?
