R S Thomas Quotes

I am alone on the surface of a turning planet Picture Quote #1

A power guided my hand. If an invisible company waited to see what I would do, I in my own way asked for direction, so we should journey together a little nearer the accomplishment of the design Picture Quote #1

There is always laughter out of the speeding vehicles for the man who is still, half-way though he be in a better direction Picture Quote #1

I had looked forward to old age as a time of quietness, a time to draw my horizons about me, to watch memories ripening in the sunlight of a walled garden. But there is the void over my head and the distance within that the tireless signals come from. And astronaut on impossible journeys to the far side of the self I return with messages I cannot decipher Picture Quote #1

I have nowhere to go. The swift satellites show The clock of my whole being is slow Picture Quote #1

Verse should be as natural As the small tuber that feeds on muck and grows slowly from obtuse soil To the white flower of immortal beauty Picture Quote #1

Imaginative truth is the most immediate way of presenting ultimate reality to a human being... ultimate reality is what we call God Picture Quote #1

Man is a dream about a shadow. But when some splendour falls upon him from God, a glory comes to him and his life is sweet Picture Quote #1

A recurring ideal, I find, is that of simplicity. At times there comes the desire to write with great precision and clarity, words so simple and moving that they bring tears to the eyes Picture Quote #1

What was the shell doing, on the shore? An ear endlessly drinking? What? Sound? Silence? Which came first? Listen Picture Quote #1

In the silence that is his chosen medium of communication and telling others about it in words. Is there no way not to be the sport of reason? Picture Quote #1

Art is recuperation from time. I lie back convalescing upon the prospect of a harvest already at hand Picture Quote #1

Is there a place here for the spirit? Is there time on this brief platform for anything other than mind’s failure to explain itself? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes a strange light shines, purer than the moon, casting no shadow, that is the halo upon the bones of the pioneers who died for truth Picture Quote #1

The darkness is the deepening shadow of your presence; the silence a process in the metabolism of the being of love Picture Quote #1

Poetry is that / which arrives at the intellect / by way of the heart Picture Quote #1

The silence holds with its gloved hand the wild hawk of the mind Picture Quote #1

The meaning is in the waiting Picture Quote #1

It was not I who lived, but life rather that lived me Picture Quote #1

You have to imagine a waiting that is not impatient because it is timeless Picture Quote #1

Somewhere within sight of the tree of poetry that is eternity wearing the green leaves of time Picture Quote #1

There was a larger pattern we worked at: They on a big loom, I with a small needle Picture Quote #1

Why, then, are my hands red with the blood of so many dead? Is this where I was mislead? Picture Quote #1

I am a man now. Pass your hand over my brow. You can feel the place where the brains grow Picture Quote #1

I’m obviously not orthodox, I don’t know how many real poets have ever been orthodox Picture Quote #1
