Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas 1934-1952 (New Directions Book)

“And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

　I labor by singing light 　Not for ambition or bread 　Or the strut and trade of charms 　On the ivory stages 　But for the common wages 　Of their most secret heart. “ 生活不只是眼前的苟且，还有诗和远方 ”

读了一半决定放弃。英文水平还是太差。因为“Do not go gentle into that good night”入的坑，结果谁知道剩下的50%都有宗教隐喻呢。

单论阅读体验可称艰涩，可若配上Dylan Thomas本人具有魔性魅力的吟唱或诵读，一切就如此自然。但，刨除那些大作——里面的烂诗也太！多！了！

before i knocked/when, like a running grave “the kissproof world” …/this bread i break/incarnate devil/the tombstone told when she died/the side of the truth/do not go gentle into that good night/vision and prayer 惊现塔诗(正式说法是什么呢…

璀璨而邪性的生命

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees Is my destroyer. And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.
