on these Spindrift pages (Explored)

In my craft or sullen art

Exercised in the still night

When only the moon rages

And the lovers lie abed

With all their griefs in their arms,

I labour by singing light

Not for ambition or bread

Or the strut and trade of charms

On the ivory stages

But for the common wages

Of their most secret heart.

 

Not for the proud man apart

From the raging moon I write

On these spindrift pages

Nor for the towering dead

With their nightingales and psalms

But for the lovers, their arms

Round the griefs of the ages,

Who pay no praise or wages

Nor heed my craft or art.

 

[Dylan Thomas]

 

I was so surprised to find a Dylan Thomas poem mentioning spindrift (the spray off the waves). My new novel Mudlarks and Meadowlarks has gone to the publisher. It is definitely written on "spindrift pages"....

 

it's almost time to open our "spindrift pages" for 2016
