Praise to the architects;
Dramatic shadows in a tin box;
Nonstop; stoppress; vinegar from wisecracks;
Praise to the architects;
Radio’s a building in the air;
The poster is today’s text,
The message comes from negro mystics,
An old chatterbox, barenaveled at Nice,
Who steps on the gas;
Praise to the architects;
A pome’s a building on a page;
Keatings is good for lice,
A pinch of Auden is the lion’s feast;
Praise to the architects;
Empty, To Let, are signs on this new house;
To leave it empty’s lion’s or louse’s choice;
Lion or louse? Take your own advice;
Praise to the architects.
I am busy working to bring Dylan Thomas's "Praise to the architects" 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 "Praise to the architects" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
