Poetry & greek artists, greek painters


Yannis Stavrou, Two Trees, Attica landscape, oil on canvas

Thinking of Summer in the middle of Winter...

An adventure in Dylan Thomas poetry...

From the 18 Poems (1934)

I see the boys of summer

Where once the twilight locks

A process in the weather of the heart

Before I knocked

The force that through the green fuse

My hero bares his nerves

Where once the waters of your face

If I were tickled by the rub of love

Our eunuch dreams

Especially when the October wind

When, like a running grave

From love’s first fever

In the beginning

Light breaks where no sun shines

I fellowed sleep

I dreamed my genesis

My world is pyramid

All all and all

Dylan’s first collection of poems was published in December 1934, a month after his twentieth birthday.

In April 1934 he won the Sunday Referee’s Poet’s Corner Prize, which included their sponsorship of his first book. He closely oversaw the publication of the book, staying in London to ensure that the printing went smoothly and to correct any typographical errors. 500 copies were initially produced, and the book was reissued in 1936.
