Welcome to Litsy!

I didn't connect with as many of these poems as I would have liked. But it contains one of my all time favorites (Do not go gentle into that good night), and I found several lines throughout that I liked. "And from the first declension of the flesh/I learnt man's tongue, to twist the shapes of thoughts/Into the stony idiom of the brain/To shade and knit anew the patch of words/Left by the dead who, in their moonless acre/need no words warmth." ?

In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms,
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charms
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most secret heart.

From “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.”
