"In my Craft or Sullen Art" is a poem written by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (1914–1953). It was first published in 1946 in ''Deaths and Entrances''. The poem describes a poet who must write for the sake of his craft rather than any material gains that may come from his work. ==Poem text== 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「In my Craft or Sullen Art」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
