195 1 year, dylan thomas wrote a Poetic Notes in response to an interview with a Welsh college student, saying: "The earliest reason why I wrote poetry stems from my preference for words. The earliest poem I remember is nursery rhymes. Before I could read these nursery rhymes, I only liked the words of nursery rhymes. As for what words represent, symbolize and mean, they are secondary; The important thing is that I heard the voice of words for the first time, from the mouths of adults who are far away from me and don't know much, but live in my world. Words, to me, seem to be like the notes of bells, the sound of musical instruments, the sound of wind, the sound of rain, the sound of waves, the creaking of milk trucks, the sound of horseshoes from pebbles, and the sound of branches banging on the window lattice. Perhaps, just like a born deaf person, they miraculously found their hearing. I don't care what these words mean to Jack and Jill. I care about the sound patterns formed in my ears when words are named or described; What I care about is the timbre that words project into my eyes. " [2]
