Do not go gentle into that good night
▶ Dylan Thomas - Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night - Dailymotion video
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 that 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

Quote of the Day
“How terrible,” sympathized the neighbors.“What bad luck.”
“Who knows whether it is bad luck or good luck,” the farmer replied.
A week later, the horse returned form the mountains, leading five wild mares into the barn.
“What wonderful luck!” said the neighbors.
“Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?” answered the old man.
The next day, the son, trying to tam one of the horses, fell and broke his leg.
“How terrible. What bad luck!”
“Bad luck? Good luck?”
The army came to all the farms to take the young men for war. The farmer’s son was of no use to them, so he was spared.
“Good? Bad?”

Quote of the day
"Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone's lifestyle, you must fear them or hate them. The second is that to love someone means that you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
- Rick Warren

Quote of the day
I guess the world needs
dreamers. People who could not harm a fly, who always see the best in
others, and who see the world for the way it "could be". But realize,
that for every ten thousand dreamers, there is another who is different.
He or she is manning a post or patrol and they see the world as it
actually is; and it is they who are keeping someone else from cutting
your head off with a knife and putting it on a stick ... as you dream.
