Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night by Dylan Thomas (compact with notes)

This is a very good poem by Dylan Thomas and here is a great article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_not_go_gentle_into_that_good_night And a good article about Dylan Thomas https://poets.org/poet/dylan-thomas And this poem: https://poets.org/poem/do-not-go-gentle-good-night Do not go gentle into that good night Dylan Thomas 1914 – 1953 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.
