Would you accept that he wrote "for the love of man and in praise of God'? (MEG 102) (DYLAN THOMAS)

It is certainly possible to argue that Dylan Thomas wrote "for the love of man and in praise of God" in his poetry. Thomas's poems often explore fundamental human experiences and emotions, such as love, death, and the passing of time. He also frequently evokes the natural world and its beauty and power, which can be seen as a celebration of God's creation. Additionally, Thomas was raised in a religious household and attended chapel regularly as a child, which may have influenced his worldview and the themes he explored in his work.


However, it is worth noting that Thomas was not a conventionally religious poet, and his work can also be read as a celebration of the human spirit and the beauty of the natural world without necessarily invoking the concept of God. Ultimately, the interpretation of Thomas's poetry as being written "for the love of man and in praise of God" will depend on the individual reader's perspective and the way they choose to interpret his work.
