The Moon
Your personality is lunar. You shine when others
share themselves with you, and are lonely when
they are not. Your friends probably perceive
you as aloof, and cast you in the role of wise
counselor. They may be unaware how much they
really mean to you.

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.


-Dylan Thomas

so i've officially decided that i hate 'poetry voices.' i hate it when people read poems that are full of passion or tenderness or pain in that gentle, moderated voices that has no sense of what they are reading. no sense of the meaning and feeling behind the words. and i want to know who exactly decided this should be the convention.

otherwise, basingstoke was much fun and not at all as scary as people led me to believe.
