I have longed to move away … From the hissing of the spent lie

(The Art of Dreaming)

I have Longed to Move Away

By Dylan Thomas

 

I have longed to move away

From the hissing of the spent lie

And the old terrors’ continual cry

Growing more terrible as the day

Goes over the hill into the deep sea. . . .

I have longed to move away but am afraid;

Some life, yet unspent, might explode

Out of the old lie burning on the ground,

And, crackling into the air, leave me half-blind.
