Paper Summary:
This paper analyzes the works of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas and how through analysis of some of his poems, two ideas are constantly presented and expressed through the symbolism of nature. The first is death, viewed as the end of life but at the same time as the beginning of a different type of existence and how all the elements of nature become one with the same essence and soul. The second is childhood when life is pure and innocent just like nature.Table of Contents

Conclusion
From the Paper:
"Dylan Thomas uses symbols and images of nature to express how he feels towards death and childhood. Some poems which clearly picture this idea are "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night", "And Death Shall Have No Dominion", "Poem In October", and "Fern Hill". In the first two poems there is a contradictory belief of death, as the author Anthony Thwait points outs the end of life and as the beginning of a different kind of existence. The other two pieces of work portray life in the countryside as being similar to heaven and childhood as being the moment when life is pure and innocent, according to the previously mentioned writer."More papers on Nature in Dylan Thomas?
