Childhood Memories and the Agent of Death in Dylan Thomas’s Poetry

Summary/Abstract: Dylan Thomas’s poetry has often been categorized as being excessively occult and complex. The present paper will attempt to particularly identify the elements that create the mythology of death, trying to emphasize that the spiritual presence that lurks in the poems is deeply connected to his idea of primordial origin and that, in his conception, life and death develop a unique common path – just like time becomes the agent of fiction, memory can become the agent of death.
