paraphrase needed for dylan thomas's "do not go gentle"

[wolf]

Any reaction is better than no reaction, particularly given that the father is dying ... this is the "rage against the dying of the light" poem, isn't it?

I was never really big on poetry per se (despite having been an english major, briefly) but I was a Beauty and the Beast fan, so poetry reading, particularly romantic poetry, was kind of mandatory.

What do I know. My favorite poem is "Death of the Ball-Turret Gunner."
