In the White Giant's Thigh - Dylan Thomas[00:00:00]
Through throats where many rivers meet the curlews cry[00:00:13]
Under the conceiving moon on the high chalk hill[00:00:18]
And there this night I walk in the white giant's thigh[00:00:23]
Where barren as boulders women lie longing still[00:00:27]
To labour and love though they lay down long ago[00:00:31]
Through throats where many rivers meet the women pray[00:00:36]
Pleading in the waded bay for the seed to flow[00:00:40]
Though the names on their w**d grown stones are rained[00:00:44]
Away[00:00:48]
And alone in the night's eternal curving act[00:00:49]
They yearn with tongues of curlews for the unconceived[00:00:54]
And immemorial sons of the cudgelling hacked[00:00:58]
Hill who once in gooseskin winter loved all ice leaved[00:01:03]
In the courters' lanes or twined in the ox roasting[00:01:10]
Sun[00:01:14]
In the wains tonned so high that the wisps of the hay[00:01:15]
Clung to the pitching clouds or gay with any one[00:01:19]
Young as they in the after milking moonlight lay[00:01:24]
Under the lighted shapes of faith and their moonshade[00:01:28]
Petticoats galed high or shy with the rough riding[00:01:32]
Boys[00:01:37]
Now clasp me to their grains in the gigantic glade[00:01:39]
Who once green countries since were a hedgerow of[00:01:45]
Joys[00:01:50]
Time by their dust was flesh the swineherd rooted sly[00:01:52]
Flared in the reek of the wiving sty with the rush[00:01:58]
Light of his thighs spreadeagle to the dunghill sky[00:02:01]
Or with their orchard man in the core of the sun's bush[00:02:07]
Rough as cows' tongues and trashed with brambles their[00:02:11]
Buttermilk[00:02:16]
Manes under his quenchless summer barbed gold to the[00:02:16]
Bone[00:02:22]
Or rippling soft in the spinney moon as the silk[00:02:24]
And ducked and draked white lake that harps to a hail[00:02:29]
Stone[00:02:33]
Who once were a bloom of wayside brides in the hawed[00:02:36]
House[00:02:40]
And heard the lewd wooed field flow to the coming[00:02:41]
Frost[00:02:44]
The scurrying furred small friars squeal in the dowse[00:02:45]
Of day in the thistle aisles till the white owl[00:02:50]
Crossed[00:02:54]
Their breast the vaulting does roister the horned[00:02:55]
Bucks climb[00:02:59]
Quick in the wood at love where a torch of foxes[00:03:00]
Foams[00:03:03]
All birds and beasts of the linked night uproar and[00:03:05]
Chime[00:03:09]
And the mole snout blunt under his pilgrimage of domes[00:03:11]
Or butter fat goosegirls bounced in a gambo bed[00:03:16]
Their breasts full of honey under their gander king[00:03:21]
Trounced by his wings in the hissing shippen long dead[00:03:25]
And gone that barley dark where their clogs danced in[00:03:29]
The spring[00:03:34]
And their firefly hairpins flew and the ricks ran[00:03:35]
Round[00:03:40]
But nothing bore no mouthing babe to the veined hives[00:03:41]
Hugged and barren and bare on Mother Goose's ground[00:03:46]
They with the simple Jacks were a boulder of wives[00:03:52]
Now curlew cry me down to kiss the mouths of their[00:03:57]
Dust[00:04:03]
The dust of their kettles and clocks swings to and fro[00:04:05]
Where the hay rides now or the bracken kitchens rust[00:04:09]
As the arc of the billhooks that flashed the hedges low[00:04:14]
And cut the birds' boughs that the minstrel sap ran[00:04:18]
Red[00:04:23]
They from houses where the harvest bows hold me hard[00:04:24]
Who heard the tall bell sail down the Sundays of the[00:04:29]
Dead[00:04:33]
And the rain wring out it's tongues on the faded yard[00:04:35]
Teach me the love that is evergreen after the fall[00:04:40]
Leaved[00:04:45]
Grave after Beloved on the grass gulfed cross is[00:04:45]
Scrubbed[00:04:51]
Off by the sun and Daughters no longer grieved[00:04:51]
Save by their long desirers in the fox cubbed[00:04:57]
Streets or hungering in the crumbled wood to these[00:05:02]
Hale dead and deathless do the women of the hill[00:05:10]
Love for ever meridian through the courters' trees[00:05:16]
And the daughters of darkness flame like Fawkes fires[00:05:22]
Still[00:05:29]
