Pure Comedy! all the horny-boy youth and macho-posturing has its downfall in decrepitude and domestic stultification ... which is death. Brilliant ham-cum-bardic recitation!
no springtailed tom in the red hot town with every simmering woman his mouse but a hillocky bull in swelter of summer come in his great good time to the sultry bidding herds, i said.
this poem relates to the care free attitude of youth, making hay when the sun shines, through the development of maturity and responsibility via family and finally succumbing to the soothing of religion as death becomes inevitable.
I often think of this poem as age gets the better of me.

Exquisite. Love how Thomas changes his voice for each of the five "ages."
