Fabulous choice of study Abanerjee ~ What a beautiful, rich - grand poem to discuss. To remember childhood and impressive days to moments - this poet did it so well... and by day's end to hope for the remainder of retained youth; even, to wear the wrinkles of indelible experiences of such, well, it inspires me to aspire... to refresh my soul daily with passages of 'life' ~ You remind me to stop and smell the roses. I enjoy your blogs ~ Elyse

...the 'world' is always the same...the paradox of polarities...light and shadow inextricably intertwined...rational and non-rational flip sides of the self-same coin...what is 'lost'...at least in my opinion...is not so much childhood as the 'child's mind'...faith, wonder, non-discrimination, the ability to look at the whole without judgment...'suffer the little children to come unto me'...'except you be as a child you cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven'...and so we live in separation and judgment and hell...rather than to view life as does the child...and here endeth the ramblings of the...moon

You are tugging at my heart with these wonderful analysis of Thomas' work . I just love everything he wrote He turned all he saw into pure unadulterated beauty... soft feelings as in : " My tears are like the quiet drift of petals from some magic rose; And all my grief flows from the rift of unremembered skies and snows." from The Clown in the Moon, or fright and anger before death as in these lines that are my motto in life: "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day;Rage, rage against the dying of the light" He was an amazing poet and you are an incredible mind :-) xoxo

Re: abanerjee, writing to evoke the delight and liberty of childhood sounds so
I'm very happy that you have liked this contribution, and to Dylan certainly does go all the credit for writing and reminding us of our own childhood.

It sounds delightful - I must read it. I remember doing "Under Milkwood" at school and being rather shocked by it, but now after the passage of many years, it seems much tamer!!

Wonderful explanation once again! The world is delightfully different when seen of the boy's eyes.So much is swept away by time, what remains in the sieve are memories!

Re: Ryan_Morrow
I'm glad you said in so many words. In fact, after doing the poem, I myself saw it differently and more meaningfully than what I had earlier known.Thank you so much.

Very thorough and well read analysis...If one didn't love the poem already, they surely now have a deep-seated grasp and new vision for its wonders!

Re: snowview
So we all wish, just a while later than when we should have. Reminds me of "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride". But then again, this is not to deter one from wishing. And, how I would love to see your "discoveries". Happy Durga Puja celebrations in Bangalore.

I wish I had this post while studying the poem in college! Thanks for your comments on my post; I too have to "discover" many things about our festivals before I can write about them!
