Poetry+and+Art

by Dylan Thomas ||  || 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 that sad height, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. <span style="color: #808080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Do not go gentle into that good night. <span style="color: #e40b0b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Rage, rage against the dying of the light. || //In the Society art, music, and poetry were cut to the top 100.// //The leaders concluded that there was an excess of indulgences.//

//So there was a panel of people put together to read all poems,// //listen to all music, and judge all works of art to consolidate// //them to the top 100. The rest were destroyed.//

//In Matched, Cassia's grandmother was on this panel and she// //gave her husband this poem, who then gave it to Cassia at his// //farewell ceremony.//

//Cassia reflects on this poem often, even though she doesn't// //understand all of it, she likes how it makes her feel// ||

Xander remembered and for a departing gift he gave her a printed copy with a rose petal. She and the girls that she works with admire it at the beginning of CROSSED.// (Pg. 11)

//It's interesting to think about, if only 100 paintings/art works could be saved, which ones would you choose? I have a hard time with this because I have such a wide taste when it comes to art. I like most all of it.//


 * //If you had to choose only one piece of art to save which one would it be and why?//**

by Alfred Lord Tennyson
||  || **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> And one clear call for me! ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">And may there be no moaning of the bar, ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> When I put out to sea, **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Sunset and evening star, **

**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">But such a tide as moving seems asleep, ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> Too full for sound and foam, ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">When that which drew from out the boundless deep ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> Turns again home. **

**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Twilight and evening bell, ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">And after that the dark! ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">And may there be no sadness of farewell, ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> When I embark; **

**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> The flood may bear me far, ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I hope to see my Pilot face to face ** **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> When I have crossed the bar. ** || Ky reads the last stanza of this poem over the dead as he disposes of them bodies.
