I came across this quote from Dylan Thomas, which embodies perfectly what poetry does ( or try to do anyway)
You can tear a poem apart to see what makes it technically tick, you’re back with the mystery of having been moved by words. The best craftsmanship always leaves holes and gaps in the work of the poem so that something that is not in the poem can creep, crawl, flash, or thunder in
A marvelous quotation thanks Sylvie, that I’ve never read. And Dylan Thomas’ poem « Fern Hill » has for years being my all-time closest to my heart poem!
And the voice!
Forgot to mention it comes from Dylan Thomas ‘s page
Great share. Love his work!
Thank you Michele
