(一)And Death Shall Have No Dominion
死亡也并非是所向披靡
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead mean naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clen 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.
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,
独角兽似的邪恶刺穿他们的身躯;
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。
(二)Twenty-Four Years
二十四个年头
Twenty-four years remind the tears of my eyes.
(Bury the dead for fear that they walk to the grave ln labour.)
In the groin of the natural doorway I crouched like a
