“The Almanac of Time”
Dylan Thomas
Metaphor, Diction, Image, and Tone
Almanac - a calendar
Seethe - to bubble
In “The Almanac of Time,” Dylan Thomas uses many metaphors describing time. These metaphors all combine to create a greater image, that the concept of time is not something to control man, but something that should be man’s possession. Therefore, man should not let time control him, instead he should struggle against time’s restriction and try to dominate it. Even in the beginning of the poem, one can see the true genius behind the diction of Thomas’ words. The word almanac means a calendar, a man-made invention. To further support the fact that man owns time as the concept of time man-made, Thomas describes the almanac of time
