rage rage against the dying of the night meaning
It has been suggested that it was written for Thomas' dying father, although he did not die until just before Christmas 1952. It has no title other than its first line, Do not go gentle into that good night, a line which appears as a refrain throughout. Its other refrain is Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
