(Un)Tramp-led Onam

Sleep Walk ... The life that we dream....The dream that we live...






Could not sleep well in the train...i asked for an upper berth and got a middle berth instead...and gazing up thats just what i saw , an image that clearly snapped within with deep metaphorical import. Clicked it at once with my W700i and the image was conceived. But i guess it is a poem by Dylan Thomas that delivered it!

DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD 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.

Dylan Thomas
