Transcription of Being but men By Dylan Thomas [ Photo with Poem / Experiment23 ]

This poem depicts the voice of a child who has grown older and grown up. When a child becomes an adult, he or she becomes more worried and afraid. The poet is expressing himself walking into the forest, a battlefield, knowing that he has become an adult.



Being but men  By Dylan Thomas


​Being but men, we walked into the trees
Afraid, letting our syllables be soft
For fear of waking the rooks,
For fear of coming
Noiselessly into a world of wings and cries.

If we were children we might climb,
Catch the rooks sleeping, and break no twig,
And, after the soft ascent,
Thrust out our heads above the branches
To wonder at the unfailing stars.

Out of confusion, as the way is,
And the wonder, that man knows,
Out of the chaos would come bliss.

That, then, is loveliness, we said,
Children in wonder watching the stars,
Is the aim and the end.

Being but men, we walked into the trees.




The interpretation of the picture I chose today was decided by my memory of my childhood.

Dylan Thomas was a poet who was born in Wales, England. He died in New York, the U.S., at the age of 39, but his poems are loved a lot as poems that represent his hometown. 

Ironically, however, this poet was extremely disliked by his belonging to any literary school or regionalism, and it is known that there are very few poets who have been influenced.


The following is a picture that I transcribed.
