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.dprjones reads In my craft or sullen art by Dylan Thomasdprjoneslives2010-05-07 | 'In my craft or sullen art' by Dylan Thomas
In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms,
I labour 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.
Not for the proud man apart
From the raging moon I write
On these spindrift pages
Nor for the towering dead
With their nightingales and psalms
But for the lovers, their arms
Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art.
It was my thirtieth year to heaven
Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood
And the mussel pooled and the heron
Priested shore
The morning beckon
With water praying and call of seagull and rook
And the knock of sailing boats on the net webbed wall
Myself to set foot
That second
In the still sleeping town and set forth.
My birthday began with the water-
Birds and the birds of the winged trees flying my name
Above the farms and the white horses
And I rose
In rainy autumn
And walked abroad in a shower of all my days.
High tide and the heron dived when I took the road
Over the boerder
And the gates
Of the town closed as the town awoke.
A springful of larks in a rolling
Cloud and the roadside bushes brimming with whistling
Balackbirds and the sun of October
Summery
On the hill's shoulder,
Here were fond climates and sweet singers suddenly
Come in the morning where I wandered and listened
To the rain wringing
Wind blow cold
In the wood faraway under me.
Pale rain over the dwindling harbour
And over the sea wet church the size of a snail
Withits horns through mist and the castle
Brown as owls
But all the gardens
Of spring and summer were blooming in the tall tales
Beyond the border and under the lark full cloud.
There could I marvel
My birthday
Away but the weather turned around.Answer the question geerup? Well answer it then!dprjoneslives2009-08-02 | The "DNA - do not abort" link is;

Youtube sent me a message thanking me for my e-mail. I had not sent them one yet!
I have no idea how or why my channel was reinstated but I have no doubt that it was largely due to the support that you all gave me.
I feel deeply humbled that so many of you would take the effort to message me, mirror my videos and offer your support. It means a great deal to me.
Thank you ALL!You should mirror this DPRjonesdprjoneslives2009-05-22 | This video is a mirror of a video made by youtube user gluesniffer666.

TerrarisingA challenge to clever people - Part 3 - the inverse sprinklerdprjoneslives2009-04-22 | The inverse sprinkler problem can be summarised as follows.
A normal "S" shaped lawn sprinkler will roatate when water is passed through it (by reason of conservation of momentum).
The question here is this. What if you submerge the sprinkler into a tank of water and suck water through the sprinkler rather than eject it?
Does it rotate "towards" the water it is sucking in (clockwise in my diagram) or away from the water it is sucking in (anti-clockwise in my diagram) or does it remain stationary?
Regarding Richard Feynman: He was a genius and a great inspiration to many, myself included. There are many videos on youtube about him. I will add a list of those I consider the best as soon as I am able.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsgBtOVzHKIA challenge to clever people - Part 2 - Schrodingers catdprjoneslives2009-04-17 | This is the second in the series in which I invite people to make video response to my questions.
In this video I address the issue of Schrodinger's cat.
My problem is this. In the classic double slit experiment the identification of the slit through which the photon passes is sufficient to collapse the wave function.
Why does the geiger counter in Schrodinger's box have the same affect and put the cat out of it's misery (or not) as the case maybe?To all clever people (and andromedaswake) - a challenge - Part 1dprjoneslives2009-04-16 | Before you begin to send me hate mail about my reference to andromedaswake please understand that it is a joke!

Despite the fact that I studied science at school and my first degree was in Mechanical Engineering, there are some questions in science that I have never understood and continue to baffle me.
This is the first.
Video responses would be appreciated.

I apologise for not being able to answer all questions and comments about vote botting and flagging. (Particularly as I cannot access my "dprjones" account.
As a result I cannot access my account for 2 weeks.
This means that I can't upload any videos or respond to comments. More importantly, it is difficult for me to respond to messages. I have been getting between 6 to 10 messages a day concerning vote bots. All such messages are read (and I will still be able to read them from my e-mail account.)
You can still view all my other videos. You can make comments rate and subscribe.
There are a large number of youtube users who are in constant contact and communication over all incidents of voe botting that we receive. There is no magical wand that we can wave to resolve the problem but we are working on it.
If you wish to message me about vote botting please do so here.
The video that was flagged was "Evolution and a challenge for VenomfangX". There is no evidence to suggest that he flagged it. Please do not go on a "witch hunt" after him due to this.
As for the Peter Popoff Challenge, I set video response to "approval only" in order to ensure that all video responses were relevant to the challenge. Unfortunately I can not approve any videos until I can access my account again.
Most video responses to my other videos do not require approval but I can't guarantee that I adjusted the settings on all of them.
Please mirror this video in order that as many people as possible know that I am still here and my lack of response to them is not due to discourtesy.
