Old age should burn and rave at the close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though the 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
Dylan Thomas

Sweet weight,
in celebration of the woman I am
let me carry a ten-foot scarf,
let me drum for the nineteen-years-olds,
let me carry bowls for the offering
let me study the cardiovascular tissue,
let me examine the angular distance of meteors
let me stuck on the stems of flowers
Anne Sexton ,1969
