Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

This is one of those uber-classic poems that I think everyone should know, even if they already HAVE known it.
In one way or another. :)
Rage, Rage, against the dying of the light!
Okay, yes, I know the poem is ACTUALLY about his father's blindness, but damn... I prefer to read it as the fight to LIVE!
LIVE!!!!!
As a side note, this is a very fun poem to teach my little girl. Reading CAN be fun. Especially when you PERFORM it. And Rage! Rage a lot! Ah, 7-year-olds can be a lot of fun.

They did quote it, yes, but it's an old, popular poem. :)
While I loved this poem isn't it a bit much to call it a book. Also neat tidbit about his father I always just thought it was about fighting to live.
so sweet! I probably wouldn't know about this poem if it didn't appear in the Interstellar and your review makes me want to read the book.

Trying to write a good villanelle tells you about your limitations as a poet.
I'm sure you're right!
