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.

Favourite. Poem. Ever. I love that poem.
Your confidence is surprising in light of your inability to kill this thread, Okie. |
It ranks up there for me as well. I believe that I own the entire collection of Dylan Thomas works.
My favorite line ever is from Dylan Thomas' Fern Hill:
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.
Much like this thread, it talks about the inevitability of death, despite how hard one may fight it.
