The Welsh poet and write Dylan Thomas was born on 27 October 1914 and died on 9 November 1953, a victim of his own excesses. In that brief life, he created some of the most lyrical poetry in the English language, word-heavy so much so that some critics argued it was over-verbose. Most readers and, importantly, listeners, disagree with this as the sounds that he put together draw you in, the images are so wonderful and yet his intent is never deliberately obfuscated.
Excellently done, Tim.
