Dylan Thomas invokes in me a rare paroxysm of pride in my country and my city.

@CarolAnneFreeling1 Bob thought so too, way back in the early sixties, as well as Catherine Zeta Jones and that Wall street husband of hers, Michael ‘Gecko’ Douglas.
Douglas apparently translates from old Brrythonic(welsh) to mean eyes as ‘black-blue as a deep river’.

@georges3601 Correct. I was just being a bit of a comedian.
Best line of Under Milk Wood I think is one of Captain Cats’ which goes (something) like this;
‘The only sea I saw, was a seesaw sea, with you riding on it. Lie down, lie easy, let me shipwreck, in your thighs.’
Nectar, ey?

Something like the ‘sloeblack, slow black, crow black fishing-boat-bobbing sea?’
Under Milk Wood? Gotta admit that that’s one of the more straightforward lines you’ll encounter in modern verse: The seaside in Llaregub, at night, is dark.

I was the same, thinking, when my english teacher decided to put questions in our year exams, when I was thirteen, of Dylan Thomas, I was thinking, at the time, who is this bloke saying things like black, black, nats arsed black cobbled street, drunk like black stout cobbled street – and all that bollocks.
But it only makes sense in time to come, if you feel you want it to make sense to you. All the best, you did well to actually watch this, truth be told!

Dylan Thomas is a Genius-obvious; you can’t hear his work and not know it, just beautiful, wonderful things roll from his lips.

Apologies, just heard it was leukemia, so it may have have been a shocking, terrible, short battle.
Dylan Thomas reading is like listening to magic.
