I understand all the comments about death. As I contemplate this poem, it is about growing older. As I approach age 60 it is so easy to give up on so many passions of youth, yet this poem exerts me to live on and to not go gentle into my older years.

Although Dylan meant it to be about not just accepting death; one can put the two lines into a more personal context. It doesn't have to be about fighting death, per se. What it means to me, is don't accept the inevitable. Don't just accept it, and let it creep upon you. Fight for what you believe in, fight against the inevitable. Do not accept what is put in front of you, if you do, you already lost.

Brilliant poem. Life is beauty, beauty life. That's all you know and all you need to know. Dylan's poem is brilliant.

Whatever lies after the grave will last forever. At the end of your light will you count youre time here well spent? Will you simply give up or will you want just a little more?

I think this poem is brilliant because he combines both the personal and the universal. By talking to his father and then talking to ALL men "wild" "wise" "good" "grave" he is telling us ALL to don't take death quietly. He then shows his personal side by talking directly to his father. It goes without saying that this is a beautiful poem. I'm doing a paper on Dylan Thomas and his theme of death and I'm enjoying it immensly.

I love this poem, it views life in a way which i can relate to; forget about afterlife (if there is one) concentrate on the now, ultimately enjoy your life do what YOU want to do.
