“
When all my five and country senses see,
The fingers will forget green thumbs and mark
How, through the halfmoon's vegetable eye,
Husk of young stars and handfull zodiac,
Love in the frost is pared and wintered by.
— Dylan Thomas
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "When all my five and country senses see,
The fingers will forget green thumbs and mark
How, through the halfmoon's vegetable eye,
Husk of young stars and handfull zodiac,
Love in the frost is pared and wintered by." in the context of ""When All My Five And Country Senses See" (1939)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
