on Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas, on July 11, 2006
Love It!
I feel a sense of immense personal will and conviction. A verve for life...to go before he's wrung the very last particle of pleasure in living will find him kicking and sreaming and dragging his feet to slow the comeuppance of the inevitable.I see this poem being read with vehemence, with flexed jaw muscles and fire in his eye. The line:
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Is quoted in and of itself and has become nearly synonymous with a zest for living. -
on Song to the Evening Star by Thomas Campbell, on July 11, 2006
Pastoral!
y just be unused to all the apostrophied words and such. Though it probably didn't seem strange in the era in which it was penned, to my perspectived it comes off a bit contrived. I didn't care at all for these two lines:
Whilst the landscape's odours rise,
Whilst far-off lowing herds are heard,
The herds are heard thing just seems kind of sophomoric...as does Whilst. I did find a cool new word though!;
...remembrancer.
I'll have to read a bit more of his work, but at this point I don't think his style will be one that appeals to me particularly.
Excellent
This story poem shows a frenzied state of love and hate combining and the ghost that appears and haunts her, you can't regret for she deserved the finding!
