Here's a virtual movie of the great Dylan Thomas reading "If I Were Tickled By the Rub of Love" This exquisite poem uses the delicious power of metaphors to discuss the contradictions found in seeking love.Dylan Thomas wrote poetry for its lyrical effect so too much analysis of this poem is really not called for the poem like a good meal is to be enjoyed not analyzed. For all of us who have experienced the vexing power of love with its innate ability to make us happy and sad will have some clue as to what this great poem is getting at.

Kind Regards
