dylan thomas - the speech of oedipus at colonus lyrics

Loading...

endure what life god gives and ask no longer span;
cease to remember the delights of youth, travel+wearied aged man;
delight becomes death+longing if all longing else be vain

even from that delight memory treasures so
death, despair, division of families, all entanglements of mankind grow
as that old wandering beggar and these god+hated children know

in the long echoing street the laughing dancеrs throng
the bride is carried to thе bridegroom’s chamber through torchlight and tumultuous song;
i celebrate the silent kiss that ends short life or long

never to have lived is best, ancient writers say;
never to have drawn the breath of life, never to have looked into the eye of day;
the second best’s a gay goodnight and quickly turn away
