Alexander, Neal. “Dialogues of Self and Soul: The Autobiographies of W.B. Yeats and R.S. Thomas. Almanac: Yearbook of Welsh Writing in English 12 (2008): 1-31.Captain Obvious: The narration and learning segments in season 8-16 constantly state the obvious. Take this choice quote from a Calling All Engines learning segment: "And bananas are no good for building sheds!" The environment in Stanza Three is absolutely active and feels more like summer or spring than October. He extends on this idea by referring to the “October sun” as “Summery,” or similar to summer. It is perched on the “hill’s shoulder,” yet another example of personification. Now that you have read this far into the piece, you can see why Thomas uses personification so frequently. He wanted to make the entire universe come to life for the reader. Thomas was a popular name throughout medieval Europe. In Britain the name was rare prior to the Norman Conquest (11th century CE), but by the 13th and 14th centuries it had become common. In 2017 it ranked 13th in popularity in the United Kingdom with 3,246 babies given the name. [2] United States [ edit ] The Frequencies I Commanded’: Recordio R.S. Thomas. In Chwileniwn: Technoleg a Llenyddiaeth, ed. Angharad Price. Cardiff: U. of Wales P., 2002. 222 p. ISBN 0708317235. Greek form of the Aramaic name תָּאוֹמָא (Ta'oma') meaning "twin". In the New Testament this is the name of an apostle. When he heard that Jesus had risen from the dead he initially doubted the story, until Jesus appeared before him and he examined his wounds himself. According to tradition he was martyred in India. Due to his renown, the name came into general use in the Christian world.

Achilles in His Tent: The Sad Story of Henry, where Henry stays in a tunnel because he doesn't want the rain to spoil his paintwork. The episodes—and until Hero of the Rails, the characters' dialogue as well—are told through a narrator, initially Ringo Starr. Following Starr's departure in 1990, the UK and US dubs acquired distinct narrators, with George Carlin, Alec Baldwin and, ultimately, Michael Brandon wielding the role for US audiences, while the UK dub consistently retained Michael Angelis as narrator. For series 17, both Angelis and Brandon were replaced by Mark Moraghan, reunifying both English dubs' narration for the first time in decades; Moraghan would hold the (progressively less prominent) role until series 22, in which the omniscient narrator was finally eliminated entirely in favour of Thomas framing each episode through Breaking the Fourth Wall. The Flesh Made Word”, Scintilla [Journal of the Vaughan Association] 1 (1997): 83-86. [Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 3.] Steamy Sodor" (season 13) and "Victor Says Yes" (season 14), both of which entirely take place at the Steamworks.

Thomas from the Bible, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus. He is best known for the post-Resurrection moment where he asks for proof that Jesus has really returned from the dead. This scene is the origin of the phrase “Doubting Thomas” The comparatives of the second stanza form a landscape – old hills, newly swollen streams – but why are these features specifically English? Isn't it sentimental to suggest they are? They might just as well belong to Wales as to England. And how do English words (or the words of any nation) prove love of earth? Stories adapted from The Eight Famous Engines use existing characters in place of the Mainland engines.

One episode of "Thomas' Comedy Showtime" on the official YouTube channel takes two potshots at the Nitrogen era.

Dowager Hatt's Busy Day" is a giant middle finger towards the Nitrogen era, taking potshots at the bizarre deliveries that the engines were assigned to take throughout the era. I think at this point Thomas has moved instinctively from language to identity. "Make me content/ With some sweetness/ From Wales" clarifies the shift. He's no longer talking about linguistic influence so much as his own heredity. Perhaps the intended move to America triggers the quest. The poem's uncharacteristic buoyancy may well reflect the optimism Thomas felt in 1915 as he made those never-fulfilled plans of joining Robert Frost in New Hampshire. But, besides the optimism, there's anxiety at the prospect of losing his native landscapes. Words, grounded in locality, may no longer come to him. This fear might explain the earlier preoccupation with familiar strangeness and the old made new. Wallace Stevens and R.S. Thomas: Influence sans Anxiety”.
