Key quote: “R.S. Thomas is writing about a Methodist preacher.”
The host draws a parallel between the passionate delivery of Martin Luther King's speech and the themes found in R.S. Thomas's poem about a Methodist preacher. This connection highlights the transformative power of oratory and the spiritual fervor that can ignite a crowd, much like the preacher in Thomas's work.
