"I am a poet in a pub" The diaries

(from the Republic of Sunday - September 14, 2008, page 44)

"I think poets are treated well enough: no one hits them with a whip, can walk the streets safely. The 'only problem is that a bad poet is treated as a good one. Spender I think should be kicked in his headquarters, once a week, regularly and formally. And Day-Lewis should be in the audience booed and beaten on the testicles with a soft hammer. After all, there 'is something comic in the' be a poet. We should be treated with more audacity. I would not receive money as a poet but as a man, who hunger & thirst, a poet does not want meat and drinks, just the paper. God helps those who have not the stomach, but only vowels and consonants. What could happen in the event of a strike by poets? I'd stand to make the peg into the room where scribbles (George) Barker and hit him with a truncheon for each half-rhyme. "If we do not pay three pounds ten a week will not write more damned other poems." This will ensure that the dogs barking. We should reach an agreement with the critics, at least fifty percent of what they receive for every article written about us. Feel the noise of Mr. Leavis! Yet Day-Lewis, who goes hunting for mice in London Mercury! The monkeys on strike! Cross your arms and stop producing in Bloomsbury! (A bankrupt Grigson offers twenty-five per cent) (A Henry Treece, March 23, 1938)

'm terribly busy with a new poem, and I just borrowed this typewriter to beat the 'interminable Canary, which God will make him change the feathers, and help at home, mend and breaking things, and I think that if I am not careful and lucky the guys from the Government sent me to manufacture ammunition. I want to find a real job and avoid it. Punch, turning a screw, a drive wheel, do something with a gear lunch in the cafeteria, every German soldier in a cartridge case means least, be blessed all the sergeants ups and downs, all are blessed, cursed be all the evenings in the recreation center of the building, pool and hot chocolate, then the bugs in the furnished room and then punch and run and operate and strike up a hammer to help kill another stranger, oh poor me, I'd rather be a poet in any time and live on guile and beer ... (A Clement Davenport April 4, 1941, during the war)

Thanks for a poet in a pub. Titles that you guys invented! I have thirty years, thirty-one. Speaking of my father, I do not think he used the words' was the best player Shakespeare of his day '... I'm not surprised - absolutely right - if people compare me to a modern Villon. But the 'no surprise it would not be caused by the fact that I represent, somehow, a kind of modern Villon, but because I'm used to listen to bullshit. Roughly, they are as much a modern Villon - incidentally, I can not read French - as a modern Joanna Southcott, a modern Raleigh, Artemus Ward, or a Luther. All 'asylum of Mrs. Hole was neither with Dan Jones, with Fred Janes (n not m), whom I met later. To say that often fill maybe a hundred sheets for the construction of a poem is true. But I only said that often fill more than one hundred sheets with drafts, revisions, rewrites, ramblings, doodles and work of extreme concentration to build one way. And do not say it's something to be proud of or be ashamed of. I do not consider some ways better because it took weeks, and half reams, to complete. It 's just that I work very slowly, extreme fatigue, isolation. Finally, as a "profile", his admirable article should have, I think, that I have, however briefly, as on other aspects of this jumble of characters, fluctuating and precarious; aspects, I admit, that you, the most could have a limited direct knowledge: The melancholy of my basic attacks and deep dark depression reflection; ugly moods; plant coma, protracted silences and disappearances, the terror of death, 'height, the strokes, the rats, shyness and clumsiness, repetitive, trivializing, pompous periods of boredom and zoticaggine that reach the bottom; ill' s soul, doubts of consciousness, dizziness, and my all-encompassing ignorance, my petty bourgeois values \u200b\u200bare still only partially suppressed and forgotten, all my agonizing extravagance; all my indolence, and all my stories! I enclose the 'article, many thanks. That guy looks at this point! Thank God I do not see myself in society, are not forced to listen to my stories, either, except when - reluctantly - I shave, I've never had to look in the mirror that ball red and swollen body mounted on a balloon, until that provincial shabby 'soul, that hack, that hake drunk who now devotes himself, forever yours. (Al journalist C. Gordon Glover, who had sent the draft of an article on him first to propose it to regular Band Wagon, May 25, 1948)

Caitlin

We now note the tempestuous marriage of Thomas, marked by dependence on alcohol and continuous betrayals (mutual, it seems) lasted until the premature death of the poet, at age 39. We also know a story according to which the wife of Thomas, Caitlin Macnamara , shouted at the bedside of her husband's dying "Is the bloody man dead yet?" (not yet dead, the bastard?)

But surely the lucky buyer of the journal Caitlin, went at auction in May 2008, will be aware of, often conflicting, aspects of married life Thomas, and will be surprised to read some words written by the wife of the poet has disappeared: "Oh God, oh Dylan, it must be cold down there, it is cold enough on top, in November: The Dirtiest month of the year That you killed on the ninth vile day. If Only I Could take you a bowl of your bread, and milk, and salt, That you always drank at night, to warm you up. " (Oh God, oh Dylan, it must be cold down there, it is quite cold here too above, in November, the dirtiest month of the year that killed you in its ninth day coward. If only I could take your bowl with bread, milk and salt, which always takes at night to warm you up.)

The diary is part of a private collection belonging to a New Yorker, was auctioned for 250,000 pounds from the London antiquarian bookseller Rick Gekoski , which states: "It was a tumultuous marriage, of That there is no doubt, But what this collection has is Both Sides of it. It is very raw and emotional. Sometimes she says 'Oh my God, I wish I'd never married him' and at other times she wishes she Was With Him in the grave giving HIM a cuddle. " (It 's been a tumultuous marriage, there is no doubt about this, but this collection shows both sides. It' s very raw and emotional. Sometimes writes 'Oh God, I wish he had never married' and other times would be in his tomb to be able to embrace)
