INTERSTELLAR

Do not enter docilely into that serene night,

because old age should burn and rave at the end of the day;

hate, hate the light that begins to die.

In the end, even if the wise accept the darkness,

because the ray in their words has run out, they

do not enter docilely into that serene night.

Good men who cried out, as the last wave passed, how could

the brightness of their fragile actions have danced in the green bay,

hate, hate the light that begins to die.

And the fools who gathered and sang the flight of the sun

and learned, too late, how they wounded it on its way,

do not enter docilely into that serene night.

Beside death, grave men whom you see with a blinding gaze

how blind eyes would shine like meteors and be joyful,

hate, hate the light that begins to die.

And from afar, my father, I beg you, in this dark hour,

come and kiss me or curse me with your cruel tears.

Do not go meekly into this serene night.

Hate, hate the light that begins to die.

Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas was a Welsh poet and writer known for his lyrical and imaginative style of writing.

Born in Swansea, Wales in 1914, Thomas began writing poetry at a young age and quickly gained recognition for his unique use of language and vivid imagery. His work often explored themes of life, death, nature, and the passage of time.

One of Thomas's most famous works is his poem "Do not go gentle into that good night," a powerful reflection on mortality and the struggle against death. This poem, like much of Thomas's writing, showcases his ability to blend the personal and the universal, creating emotional resonance with his readers.

Throughout his career, Thomas produced a significant body of work, including poetry collections, radio plays, and short stories. His writing continues to be celebrated for its rich language, evocative imagery, and profound insights into the human experience.

Tragically, Dylan Thomas passed away in 1953 at the young age of 39, leaving behind a legacy of poetic brilliance that has influenced generations of writers and readers alike.
