That's an awesome reading by a brilliant man. The Welsh love of nature and music is evident. Stringing sounds and images together to invoke an emotional response with intricate construction is predominate in Welsh poetry for centuries. Its almost impossible to do in English, but he achieved it

It is concerntrated in on the bombing of London during the early '40s. Once the first death of an infant, all were anaesthetised to any further disgusting acts by the human race upon and against itself. Well, that is my interpretation, for what it is worth.

Auden did the postal train to Scotland, and Betjeman covered the outskirts of the London underground. Apart from that, the English appear to be slightly sterile, afraid of true, deep heart-felt, emotion.

I'll try to explain myself, then, on behalf of my previous comments. Has a sane man got room for war, no? So when it asks for accommodation, why does he give it it? Answer me that? Or rather don't, as usual, mute philistines.

Affection is what most sheep do. There is always a need for new path makers, even if sometime later they are then termed affected, by one of those ignorant multitudes that have travelled along his path, he has effected.
You are middlebrow, a pick and choose, whatever sounds best for you today. Are you not?

What do you think about this poem? I'd like to know. To me it's about death but is it about someone close to him - he says 'After the first there is no other' and refers to 'daughter of london' I just wondered

It's not just the substance, but also the style, the declaratory sensibility, the sense of mystery and acceleration. Itrs value lies in the adrenaline that the poem makes you feel as much as its literary content. I agree that the end is the clincher, it's a useful description of the gravity of one's first encounter with mortality.

Yeah, I'm the maker of this video. You're right. A few of those images are off. But I did not create this for the strut and trade of charms. I made it for lovers. Too much work to re-edit it now.
