do_not_go_gentle_into_that_good_night suicidalchinadoll I don't know why.. the memory of the poem, and of a piece of music named after it.. ... was all I had at one point.. 040916 ... young pretender i first heard this line as: 'do not go softly into that dark night' and somehow, that struck far more of a chord. 041129 ... gentle? no way 041129 ... fix 041129 ... pSyche Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. 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. ~dylan thomas 060225 ... Arwyn That's kind of weird. We just covered this poem in a Lit class I'm taking.
