AND DEATH SHALL HAVE NO DOMINION -- is a poem written by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (1914–1953).
This poem is a great example of how ,Thomas found a way to express just that; why do we need religion to appreciate that death, may be the end of individuals ,but never the end of life and love in general nor of memories. Death does not make a lived life meaningless and thus shall have no dominion .The title comes from St. Paul's epistle to the Romans (6:9).
My favourite poem from my Grammar School Days . Will be a favourite of those, who have lost loved ones.
My last image of this set.

Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea but his family roots were in Carmarthenshire and it was this county that provided him with a constant source of inspiration.
He lived at the Boathouse , Laugharne ,for the last four years of his life during which time many major pieces of work were written - including Under Milk Wood. The Boathouse, where Dylan and Caitlin lived with their 3 children. , Aeronwy, Llewelyn and Colm from 1949 to 1953, is now a heritage centre.
The Boathouse ,is set in a cliff overlooking the glorious, 'heron priested' Taf Estuary .

Where curlews scream
The sea will dream
POEM ON HIS BIRTHDAY
Dylan Thomas (1914-1953)
In the mustardseed sun,
By full tilt river and switchback sea
Where the cormorants scud,
In his house on stilts high among beaks
And palavers of birds
This sandgrain day in the bent bay's grave
He celebrates and spurns
His driftwood thirty-fifth wind turned age;
Herons spire and spear.

The inspiration of DYLAN THOMAS
As people become more familiar with the works of Dylan Thomas, a moment arrives in their lives when something tells them to come to Laugharne. Some make the journey in their early twenties, armed with his COLLECTED POEMS. Lovers arrive in each other’s arms, and later return with their children.
Dylan wrote some of "UNDER MILK WOOD " here.
Laugharne
‘"To begin at the beginning: it is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black,
the cobble streets silent and the hunched, courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the
sloe black, slow, black, crow black fishing boat-bobbing sea. [...] And all the people of the lulled and
dumbfounded town are sleeping now."
