《死亡也并非是所向披靡》
死亡也并非是所向披靡，
西沉的月亮融为一体；
骨头被剔净，而干净的骨头又消失，
他们的臂肘和脚底一定会有星星；
尽管他们发痴却一定会清醒，
尽管他们沉落海底却一定会重新升起；
尽管情人会失去，爱情却永生；
死亡也井非是所向披靡。
死亡也并非是所向披靡，
久卧在大海的迂曲漩涡之下，
他们不会像卷曲的风儿一样死去；
当筋骨松弛在刑架上挣扎，
虽受缚于车轮，却一定不会屈服；
他们手中的信仰会被折断，
独角兽似的*刺穿他们的身躯；
纵然粉身碎骨，他们一定不会屈服，
死亡也并非是所向披靡。
死亡也并非是所向披靡。
海鸥不会再在他们身畔啼鸣，
波涛也不会高声拍打着堤岸；
曾经花枝招展的地方再也不会
另有鲜花昂首笑迎雨点的打击；
尽管他们疯狂，像硬瘤一般僵死，
一个个人物的头颅在雏菊丛中崭露；
在阳光中碎裂直到太阳崩裂，
死亡也并非是所向披靡。
（汪剑钊译）
《拒绝哀悼死于伦敦大火中的孩子》
直到创造人类
主宰禽兽花木
君临万物的黑暗
以沉寂宣告最后一缕光明闪现
而那静止的时辰
来自轭下躁动不安的大海
而我必须再一次进入
水珠圆润的天庭
和玉蜀黍的犹大教堂
我才能为一个声音的影子祈祷
或在服丧的幽谷之中
播撒我苦涩的种子去哀悼
这个孩子高贵而壮烈的死亡。
我不会去谋杀
她那与严峻的真理同行的人性
也不会再以天真
和青春的挽歌
去亵漆渎生命的港口。
伦敦的女儿与第一批死者同穴深葬，
众多的至亲好友将她裹没，
永恒的尘粒，母亲深色的血管
默默地傍依着冷漠地
涌流不息的泰晤士河。
第一次生命丧失以后，再没有另一次死亡。

Dylan Thomas was born in the coastal city of Swansea, Wales. His father David, who was a writer and possessed a degree in English, brought his son up to speak English rather than Thomas's mother's, Florence Hannah Thomas, native language, Welsh. He had one sister, Nancy, who was nine years older than him. His middle name, "Marlais", came from the bardic name of his uncle, the Unitarian minister Gwilym Marles (whose real name was William Thomas). Thomas was unable to actively fight in World War II because he was considered too frail, however he still served the war effort by writing scripts for government propaganda.
He attended the boys-only Swansea Grammar School, in the Mount Pleasant district of the city, where his father taught English Literature. It was in the school's magazine that Thomas saw his first poem published. He left school at age 16 to become a reporter for a year and a half.
Thomas's childhood was spent largely in Swansea, with regular summer trips to visit his mother's family on their Carmarthen farm. These rural sojourns, and their contrast with the town life of Swansea, provided substance for much of his work, notably many short stories and radio essays and the poem Fern Hill.
Thomas wrote half his poems and many short stories when he lived at the family home at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive; And death shall have no dominion is one of the best known works written at this address. His highly acclaimed[1] first poetry volume, 18 Poems, was published in November 1934. The publication of Deaths and Entrances in 1946 was a major turning point[2][3][4] in his career, with widespread recognition that a great poet had indeed emerged. Thomas "became a very successful orator...was extremely well-known ring his life for being a versatile and dynamic speaker and he was best known for his poetry readings."[5] His immensely striking and powerful voice would captivate American audiences ring his speaking tours of the early 1950s. He made over two hundred broadcasts for the BBC.
Dylan Thomas met his wife Caitlin and "the love affair started in a Fitzrovia pub in the spring of 1936. A young Irish dancer called Caitlin Macnamara sat on a stool at the bar: blonde, blue-eyed and drinking gin. To the drunken Welsh poet who staggered towards her through the smokey fug of The Wheatsheaf, she appeared an angelic beauty. And when finally the poet reached her, eccentrically laying his head in her lap, he mumbled a proposal of marriage. This unorthodox first encounter between Dylan Thomas and his wife is a central part of the Bohemian mythology that surrounds the memory of one of Britain's best loved creative talents."[6]
In 1937, Thomas married MacNamara and would have three children with her, although the marriage was tempestuous. There were affairs and rumours of affairs on both sides; Caitlin had an affair with Augustus John before, and quite possibly after, she married Thomas. In January of 1939 came the birth of their first child, a boy whom they named Llewelyn (died in 2000). He was followed in March of 1943 by a daughter, Aeronwy. A second son and third child, Colum Garan, was born in July 1949.
Thomas liked to boast about his drinking. He was known to comment, "An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do."[7] During an incident on November 3, 1953, Thomas returned to the Chelsea Hotel in New York and exclaimed "I've had 18 straight whiskies; I think this is a record."
He collapsed on November 9, 1953 at the White Horse Tavern, in Greenwich Village, Manhattan after drinking heavily while on a promotional speaking tour; Thomas later died at St. Vincent's Hospital. The primary cause of his death is recorded as pneumonia, with pressure on the brain and a fatty liver given as contributing factors. His last words, according to Jack Heliker, were: "After 39 years, this is all I've done." Following his death, his body was brought back to Wales for burial in the village churchyard at Laugharne. His wife, Caitlin, died in 1994, and was buried alongside him. It is said that Mr. Thomas's favorite drink was the Whiskey Sour, which, on several occasions, he referred to as "jolly good nosh, this."
As would be expected of a famous poet whose best known line is "Do not go gentle into that good night", many memorials have been constructed or converted to honour Thomas. Tourists in his home town of Swansea can visit a statue in the maritime quarter, the Dylan Thomas Theatre, and the Dylan Thomas Centre, formerly the town's guildhall. The latter is now a literature centre, where exhibitions and lectures are held and is the setting for the city's annual Dylan Thomas Festival. Another monument to Thomas stands in Cwmdonkin Park, one of his favourite childhood haunts, close to his birthplace at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive. The memorial is inscribed with the closing lines from one of his best-loved poems, Fern Hill: "Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means/Time held me green and dying/Though I sang in my chains like the sea."[11] This is inscribed on a rock in a closed-off garden within the park. Thomas's home in Laugharne, the Boat House, is also a memorial. The Powerful Coolmore Stud have a Colt (horse) called Dylan Thomas which won the Irish Derby on the 2nd July 2006.
Several of the pubs in Swansea also have associations with the poet. One of Swansea's oldest pubs, the No Sign Bar, was a regular haunt, renamed the Wine Vaults in his story The Followers.
In 2004 a new literary prize, the Dylan Thomas Prize,[12] was created in honour of the poet. It is awarded to the best published writer in English under the age of 30.
His obituary was written by his long term friend Vernon Watkins.
A class 153 locomotive was named Dylan Thomas 1914 - 1953.
Igor Stravinsky wrote In memoriam Dylan Thomas: Dirge canons and song (1954) for tenor voice, string quartet, and four trombones, based on "Do not go gentle".
A song by a Welsh rock band, The Rambones, pays tribute to Thomas in the final line, as they sing, "I choose to go gentle, but I promise/It's with no offense to Dylan Thomas".
The cover of the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band contains a photograph of Dylan Thomas.
Alternative rock band The Slip make a reference to the poet in their 2006 song, "Airplane/Primitive" from the album Eisenhower: "It is the day before the rest of my life / And I feel like Dylan Thomas".
Musician Ben Taylor named his 2003 album "famous among the barns" as tribute to Dylan Thomas.
In the Simon & Garfunkel song "A Simple Desultory Philippic" they sing ironically: "He doesn't dig poetry. He's so unhip that / When you say Dylan, he thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas, / Whoever he was".
