The air you breathe
Dylan Thomas
1914 to 1953
The air you breathe encroaches
The throat is mine I know the neck
Wind is my enemy your hair shant stir
Under his strong impulsive kiss
The rainbow’s foot is not more apt
To have the centaur lover
So steal her not O goat-legged wind
But leave but still adore
For if the gods would love
Theyd see with eyes like mine
But should not touch like I
Your sweet inducive thighs
And raven hair.
Dylan Thomas's The air you breathe
I am busy working to bring Dylan Thomas's "The air you breathe" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Dylan Thomas's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The air you breathe" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
