  • By Dylan Thomas -
    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.
    Read By Jonathan Pryce aka Sam Lowry aka The High Sparrow

    The poem in my opinion, reflects the fight of those who have no eternal focus on life but the fear of death. Those who know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior have no fear of the fading light but welcome what has been promised as a new beginning or eternal journey without end.

    • @meowstro6418

    I find that this poem is perfect for what we as the American nation will now have to endure; four dark years of Trump. This poem is a call for all of us who have worked so hard to make progress on so many fronts to not stop fighting for good and light, but to "rage.... rage against the dying of the light". I'm so glad that Dylan Thomas wrote this poem.... it really is one of my favorites.

      Alex Areeda I feel so sorry for people in the USA who did not want this. The way he spoke so crassly about grabbing women and all the other rubbish is just so shocking. I have teenage daughters, who are horrified. I agree, an apt poem, written about the forthcoming death of his farther, but equally applicable to any worthwhile endeavour.

      Seen as the medium of video games and "nerd culture" is evolving each day more complex, flourishing with the passion of those who believe in it. There will come a day when the evidence brims so clear, your words will, without even your consent, have to run and hide with shame. You do not possess enough information on the subject to make such a statement. It has happened many times before through history, emerging arts despised by narrow minded contemporaries sitting comfortably on renowned and unchallenged references. With that mind set, You'll always be late to the party my friend.
