而死亡也不应支配一切

而死亡也不应支配一切
死者赤裸，他们将与
风中人和西天月合一；
当他们的骨头被剔净，而这剔净的骨头消失，
他们的肘边和脚上会有星星；
尽管他们发疯，他们将清醒
尽管他们沉入大海，他们将再次升起
尽管爱人失散但爱将永存
而死亡也不应支配一切

而死亡也不应支配一切
在海的蜿蜒下
他们久卧，不应如风一般死去
在刑具上扭曲，筋腱错位
绑在轮上，他们却不会破碎
信仰在他们手中将断成两截
独角兽之恶穿过他们
四分五裂他们也不会散架
而死亡也不应支配一切

而死亡也不应支配一切
海鸥再不会在他们耳边叫喊
波涛也不再喧哗地撞着海岸
花朵被吹落的地方
不会再有花朵昂首迎向雨水的击打
尽管他们疯狂，死如木钉
这些角色的头颅会锤击穿过雏菊
闯入太阳直到太阳破裂
而死亡也不应支配一切

AndDeath Shall Have No Dominion

And death shall have nodominion.
Dead men naked they shall beone
With the man in the wind andthe west moon;
When their bones are pickedclean 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 nodominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall no t diewindily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shallsnap 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 nodominion.
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 hammerthrough daisies;
Break in the sun till the sunbreaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

Dylan Thomas

死亡也一统不了天下，死刑也是。
