Dylan Thomas

 

Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea Wales. His dad was a writer who had a degree in English, bought his son up speaking English rather than
Wales’s native language of welsh. He was unable to fight in world war to because they considered him to frail. He stilled served in the army by writing propaganda scripts for the government. His first poem was published in his school magazine. His school was
Swansea grammar school, where his father taught English literature, he left school at the age of 16. he used to write a lot when he used to go on trips to see his grandparents, where he wrote one of his poems called fern hill. He died at the age of 39 the primary cause of his death is recorded as pneumonia, with pressure on the brain and a fatty liver given as contributing factors. His last words were, after 39 years this is all I have done.

Do not go gentle into that 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.

 Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

 Because their words had forked no lightning they

 Do not go gentle into that good night.

 Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

 Their frail deeds might have danced in a
green bay,

 Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

 Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

 And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

 Do not go gentle into that good night.

 Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

 Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

 Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

 And you, my father, there on the sad height,

 Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

 Do not go gentle into that good night.

 Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I really like this poem because it could make pretty good lyrics. And these are the kind 

of lyrics that I like. It is kind of dark and mysterious and it probably explains his 

feelings of how he is feeling at that time. But the one thing I don’t really know is what 

he was feeling at that time.

Hey everyone, I am Ryan  I am 14 and in grade 8 and I am from
