Not Go Gentle INTO that the Do Good night


Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953
the Do not Go Gentle INTO that Good night,
Old Age Should Burn and Rave AT use Close of Day;
Rage, Against at The Dying of RAGE at The Light.

To refrain from gentle walk into good night
sunset of the year should burn and rave at the end to make
furious, shouting against that light die cut

Though Wise Men aT Their End know Dark iS right,
Because Their words HAD forked NO Lightning They
the 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.

Interstellar quotes

  • [first lines]

    Murph: Well, my dad was a farmer. Um, like everybody else back then. Of course, he didn't start that way.

  • Cooper: [Cooper sits to watch the video messages left for him over the years] Cooper.

    Computer: Messages span twenty-three years.

    Cooper: Play from the beginning.

    [message from Tom starts playing]

    Young Tom: Hey, Dad. Checkin' in, sayin' hi. Um... finished second in school, Miss Carlin's still giving me Cs though. Pulled me down, but second's not bad. Grandpa attended the ceremony. Um... oh, I met another girl, dad. I, uh... I really think this is the one. Her name is Lois. That's her right there.

    [Tom holds up a photo of Lois, Cooper, overwhelmed with emotion, begins weeping]

    Young Tom: Murphy stole grandpa's car. She crashed it, she's okay though.

    Tom: [we see another message from Tom showing him as an adult] Hey, Dad. Look at this!

    [Tom holds up his baby next to him]

    Tom: You're a grandpa. His name's Jesse. I kind of wanted to call him Coop, but, Lois says maybe next time.

    Lois: [to Jesse] Say bye-bye Grandpa. Bye-bye Grandpa.

    Tom: [Cooper continues to watch his messages, the next one shows Tom looking despondent] Sorry it's been a while. Just... what with Jesse and all. Uh... grandpa died last week. We buried him out in the back plot next to mom and... Jesse. Just where we would've buried you if you'd ever... come back. Murph was there at the funeral. We don't see her that much, but she came for that.

    Tom: [Tom hesitates] You're not listening to this, I know that. All these messages are just... drifting out there in the darkness. Lois says that, uh... I have to let you go. And, uh... so, I guess... I'm letting you go. I don't know where you are, Dad. But I hope that wherever you are you're at peace. Goodbye.

    [Tom turns off the camera, Cooper touches the screen not wanting to let go when suddenly a message from a now adult Murph comes up]
