Help[Facts] Dylan Thomas: And Death Shall Have No Dominion
in reply to a message by Kate
I hope he grows up to be as great a poet as the Dylan Thomas I am thinking of.
And Death Shall Have No Dominion
by: Dylan Thomas
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

*Laughs* That was quite surprising!
I had the feeling that you could let a remark or two fall when I posted some poetry by Dylan Thomas, but this was surprising for sure!
The first part is by far the most fun:
"Wasted dudes naked dey shall be one
Wid de joker in de wind and da damn west moon;"
compared to the original:
"Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;"

I couldn't resist replying to this one).
This is sweet, maybe you could do a bit of Shakespeare, or some of Poe's stuff... LOL. Or maybe I could talk you into doing some Whitman... *shakes her head* this is more entertaining than Friday night television, by far!
