다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In spite of the fact that many of Thomas’s poems are extremely hard to comprehend and that the design of many of his earlier poems and some of his later poems is notably obscure, Thomas obviously did succeed in communicating in verse a concept of death to i much larger audience than most poets of his time. He saw “birth, and copulation, am death” as cyclical, recognizing that every death involves birth so far as human life and natura process are exactly equated. What Thomas is doing in many of his earlier poems is finding poetic symbols adequate to his sexual potency, frustrations and intense erotic imaginings Dylan Thomas was wholly preoccupied with the overwhelming mystery of sex; sex relate( with death. In all things Thomas saw sex and death simultaneously.
Basing my inquiries upon the memories of his friends and upon the self-portraiture depictec in his poems and letters, I found that the man-nature equation gains strength from inter transference intervened between death and sex. And it is notable that death is one of the majo: themes in Dylna Thomas’s poetry. All the minor themes in his poetry, the themes of growtl and decay and beauty and terror, are some variations of the main theme of death.
