Such light shall not illuminate my fears

“Light, I know, treads the ten million stars,
And blooms in the Hesperides. Light stirs
Out of the heavenly sea onto the moon’s shores.
Such light shall not illuminate my fears
And catch a turnip ghost in every cranny.”

—Dylan Thomas, “Light, I know, treads the ten million stars”, The Poems of Dylan Thomas, 1971.
