Go Gentle Now

[Brownlie]

Interesting, I see in Dylan's poem the value of life.

I interpret this to mean you see a lack of that in my poem. I agree completely regarding the value of life, but I must question the nature of death you have seen. The will to survive is perhaps the strongest of our instincts and fighting for our life is natural. This poem, which was lengthy and read as a eulogy at my father's funeral, expresses that dying can involve excruciating suffering and this poem is saying "go" gently into the inevitable. Thank you for reading.

Why not include that story in the poem or a story? Didn't mean to be presumptuous.
