//To all those who sent me their best wishes - Thank you very much indeed.
And to those who didn't send their best - Thank you anyway.//

Do not go gentle into that good night,
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 the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Many thanks to you; JF AUS & TONI LAVIS - JF AUS, thank you for your kind words. They're most appreciated.

TONI thank you for sending me that great piece of prose, one of my favourites; would you believe, I can't even recall the name of the author? Also among my favourites?

Dear O Sung Wu,

It's so good to see you still posting.

The poem given to you by Toni Lavis was written by
the great Welsh poet - Dylan Thomas. It's a much
loved favourite. And very apt choice for you.
Toni Lavis as always is a very perceptive soul.

“ttbn,

There are many races, the Equine, the Feline, the Canine etc; we happen to belong to the Human Race, which is divided into sub-groupings (as are the other races) but the distinguishing feature of any race is that they can breed only with members of the same race; although this may not be strictly true of the genus Ovis in New Zealand.

All members of the human race can breed together although, for health reasons, some should not do so.

Race, used to distinguish differing groups of the human race is a myth, moreover a myth that is long past its use by date.

It is appalling that anyone could believe this stuff

Thank you FOXY and TONI LAVIS; Dylan Thomas a remarkable poet in his time.

Dear O Sung Wu,

Talking about great poets, writers - they become important
because they fire our imagination and our emotion. We've
all heard the expression "movers and shakers." This term
comes from Arthur William Edgar O"Shaughnessy, a poet, wrote
these words:

"We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world for ever, it seems."

May you continue to be a "mover and a shaker"
dear O Sung Wu.
