lirik lagu dylan thomas - the circus animals
i sought a theme and sought for it in vain
i sought it daily for six weeks or so
maybe at last being but a broken man
i must be satisfied with my heart, although
winter and summer till old age began
my circus animals were all on show
those stilted boys, that burnished chariot
lion and woman and the lord knows what
what can i but enumerate old themes
first that sea~rider oisin led by the nose
through three enchanted islands, allegorical dreams
vain gaiety, vain battle, vain repose
themes of the embittered heart, or so it seems
that might adorn old songs or courtly shows;
but what cared i that set him on to ride
i, starved for the bosom of his fairy bride
and then a counter~truth filled out its play
`the countess cathleen’ was the name i gave it
she, pity~crazed, had given her soul away
but masterful heaven had intervened to save it
i thought my dear must her own soul destroy
so did fanaticism and hate enslave it
and this brought forth a dream and soon enough
this dream itself had all my thought and love
and when the fool and blind man stole the bread
cuchulain fought the ungovernable sea;
heart mysteries there, and yet when all is said
it was the dream itself enchanted me:
character isolated by a deed
to engross the present and dominate memory
players and painted stage took all my love
and not those things that they were emblems of
those masterful images because complete
grew in pure mind but out of what began?
a mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street
old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can
old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving sl~t
who keeps the till. now that my ladder’s gone
i must lie down where all the ladders start
in the foul rag and bone shop of the heart
