	[minstrels] Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night -- Dylan Thomas
		Admonishing his father to rage against the dying of the light was the closest he came to telling not just his father but all he sought to reach that there is no dying of the light.
		The dying of the light is not about the dying of a human form but the dying of a belief in God and the next certain life.
		It is against that that his father should rage and his frustration of his dad's inability to do so is the evocative kernel of the poem.

		Rage, rage against the dying of the light." While there is a certain Promethean heroicism in that attitude, it is probably not very good psychological&emdash;or spiritual&emdash;advice.
