Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night - Read By Jonathan Pryce and Put to Music

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

This is my favorite reading of this poem.

[@Mothertrucker896]

Its fantastic but, i genuinely prefer it with a welsh accent, its more honest, more genuine, more sad.

[@TheHealthConscounist]

I like it just the way it is

My favorite reading is definitely Rodney Dangerfield's in Back to School. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

Why cry when you should rage? Being mortal sucks but we shouldn't give in into it instead we rage against it because we want to keep exisitng.

[@the7valleys]

Dylan Thomas wrote it for his father. They both died too young.

True art in my opinion.the value in its literal sense towards the death of his father. But the feelings I get from it, for me say to fight with everything that you can muster for what you want! Great things of true value don't come easy and are worth everything when fighting for.

[@r.bradley9532]

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 see your point. I as a christian understand your side of the argument however it does not always have to be about fear of death but rather the love of living if that makes any sense?

[@UserAnonymouse]

[@Liam3542]

Ik, the amount of deaths in darks souls is meant to show show how expendable your character is and nullifies the value of life where this increases the importance.

[@Dude3210123456]

Isn't it more about the dying of the world, wich in dark souls is a dying of the light or sun, flame?

[@jolantad7971]

Smn said not to stare into darkness 4 2 long becouse it might stare back. Obviously that smn never tried studying english language n its perks.

Eleven people didn't rage against the dying of the light
