This along with his most celebrated poem"POEM IN OCTOBE"is too fascinating and rejuvinating.It really fills the mind with a certain kind of farsightedness.

This is Dylan Thomas's greatest poem. So much of his writing is bombast, the emotion in language not justified by meaning, but not here. This is a perfect balance between faith and unbelief. "Heaven than never was is always true" because it is a fantasy that appeals to desire or because it is real in eternity and not temporal, "never was nor ever will be". God is at the top of the foodchain here: "plenty as blackberries isn the wood the dead grow for his joy". I have to admit, I've had this poem memorized for over 30 years. Never anthologized, it is one of the underappreciated poems in modern literature. Worth rereading many times. I've read and written about lots of modern poetry. This is one of the best. It will make you think and feel endlessly. Does me.
