Dylan ThomasI sang in my chains like the sea
About This Quote
I sang in my chains like the sea. When you are in trouble you are supposed to sing. It is not exactly singing, it is singing in your chains or singing while you are in chains. You should never sing while you are in trouble. If you do, the people around you will think you are crazy and will be mean to you.
