I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.

Good-bye, good luck, struck the sun and the moon,
To the fisherman lost on the land.
He stands alone at the door of his home,
With his long-legged heart in his hand.

Out of the sighs a little comes,
But not of grief, for I have knocked down that
Before the agony; the spirit grows,
Forgets, and cries;
A little comes, is tasted and found good....
(Dylan Thomas (1914-1953), Welsh poet. "Out of the sighs.")

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

A fig for
The seal of fire,
Death hairy-heeled, and the tapped ghost in wood,
We make me mystic as the arm of air,
The two-a-vein, the foreskin, and the cloud.

Let the dry eyes perceive
Others betray the lamenting lies of their losses
By the curve of the nude mouth or the laugh up the sleeve.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
