And Death Shall Have No Dominion

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;
Through 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.

Good evening. I never met anybody who said when they were a kid, "I wanna grow up and be a critic."
I am from Wales and now study English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "The education was eastwood's detective to jeopardize office at the contractor."

With best wishes :p, Marli.

Also, wer hast denn diese "Übersetzung" gepostet? Das haut dem poetischen Sinn derart ins Genick, daß einem schaudert! Bitte, schaut euch mal die Übersetzung von Erich Fried an, dann wißt Ihr vielleicht, was Dylan Thomas sagen wollte!

Also ich fand Clooney gar nicht schlecht. Hab ehrlich gesagt sogar einen Moment gebraucht bis ich ihn wiedererkannt habe. Finde, daß er dieses verhärmte Wesen gut rübergebracht hat.

ja solaris kenn ich,hatte mir das gedicht irgendwann mal aufgrund des films rausgesucht und neulich wiedergefunden.
Solaris an sich is ein wirklich gelungener film, trotz clooney...Sehr merkwürdige Stimmung . vorallem Natascha Mc Elhone, welche rheya spielt(diese augen)und der traumhafte soundtrack sind unbedingt ansehens- bzw hörenswert

so far

Schon mal den Film Solaris gesehen? In dem Film wird nämlich genau jenes Gedicht erwähnt. Ziemlich ungewöhnlicher, wenn auch interessanter Film. Empfehlenswert. Daß man Clooneys nacktes Hinterteil sehen kann mag für die holde Weiblichkeit zusätzlicher Anreitz sein.

Was deine Rentner-Phobie betrifft wollte ich noch eine kleine Geschichte erzählen:
Zen-Master: "Who binds you?"
Student: "Nobody"
Zen-Master: "Then, why do you seek liberation?"

Eine geruhsame Nacht wünsche ich noch.
