'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;
Thought 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;
Though 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.

You know, DPR would be great for a voiceover for Marvin, the clinically depressed robot from The Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy

[Boy192]

I didn't know DPR could read! Wow! :O

I wonder if he'll read my eulogy when I die...

[Leehofooks]

DPR, please read some Paddington Bear stories next. Thanks.

I have a question. When will you be releasing the Insance Clown Posse Remix?

[RevDevilin]

Please stop, you're murdering some beautiful poetry, you have a good speaking voice, you may wish to consider using it for something constructive like a factual audio book booksshouldbefree.c0m, I say factual as you convey all the emotions of a manically depressed rock on Prozac, I suppose there is the ironic humour about it, but narrr

[dannypantsgm]

I wish you did books on cd.

[MpowerdAPE]

@A5Hellcat I SECOND THAT.

[MpowerdAPE]

DUDE, dpr, these are fuckin AWESOME.

I really like your voice & the way you read this poem. My problem is that I'm as dense as a bag of hammers when it comes to understanding poetry.
