Quote from Dylan Thomas..."I first saw the light and screamed at it in a loud hump of Wales.... and of course my writing would not be what it is.. if it had been for the immortal fry of the town in which I simmered up...My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out. I never could have dreamt there were such goings-on, such ice-blasts of words, such love and sense and terror and humbug, such and so many blinding lights breaking across the just awaking wits and splashing all over the pages...It was then in my father's brown study before homework...that I began to know one kind of badness, one kind of goodness. I wrote endless imitations though I never at the time of writing thought them to be imitations but rather colossally original, things unheard of, like eggs laid by tigers...I tried my little trotters at every poetical form...But what does it matter? Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry pickle, be silent, makes you want to do this or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that your bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own. All that matters is the eternal movement behind it, the great undercurrent of human grief, folly, pretension, exultation and ignorance... -Dylan Thomas (From introductory remarks to the reading he gave M.I.T July 3,1952.)
