Hello and welcome to Dreary Radio, everyone! It's 11 o'clock; let's get the art hour going. Let's take a look at what we've got today. Above is the Art of the Day, sent in from anonymous, so thank you Anonymous. Looks like the title of this one is called "resistance," with a lower case"r." Let's see what anon said in her note.
"
i captured the moon through my telescope last night
In My Craft or Sullen Art by Dylan Thomas:
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.
"
That's all anon left for us along with the image. A beautiful poem, which is perhaps just the thing that inspired this piece. Join us tomorrow for our next Art of the Day segment on Dreary Radio, 66.6.
