  • on A Refusal To Mourn The Death, By Fire, Of A Child In London by Dylan Thomas, on March 20, 2006

    great

    I thought this poem has great power and complexity. The water, religious and earthly images are outstanding. Also, the emjambment connecting the first and second stanza and also the second and third, brought a whole other reading to me. One question I had: the last line, is that refering to eternal life after death, no life after death, or the fact that the first death you encounter is the worse.
