Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.

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.

i looked through every. single. gallery.

I'm more relieved than anything, but mainly I'm more convinced than ever before that I need to be the one you select to rebuild mankind after god stuffs it all in a sack and beats it with a bat.

maybe its just that i need to up my medication, though...

heh... my favorite of Dylan Thomas is :
"An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do".. said right before the guy croaked.

Megan McGurk said...

Isn't there a film in production right now about him and his wife and her friend starring Kiera Knightley and Sienna Miller?
They aren't worthy.

Bob Dylan lyrics? You need to get pissed and laid, my friend, in that order (is there any other?).

How about this from Dylan Thomas:

Einstein disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk,
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk.
Well, he looked so immaculately frightful,
As he bummed a cigarette.
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes,
And reciting the alphabet.
You would not think to look at him,
But he was famous long ago,
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row.

xmichra popular ones would be called "Hellraisers"

Medbh maybe they'll add some car chases.

Mr Eater I think that was Bob Thomas brother to John.
