Value of Time
- Time is the most valuable asset in the world. you can only spend it. you can not buy it back.
- And the worst of all. you can’t hold it even if you never spends. it will always go away and our time will run out someday.
- And Focus is the next most valuable asset in the world. you should decide where you should Focus your Time and Energy.

is a famous villanelle by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, written in 1951. The poem is a passionate plea to resist death and fight for life, even in the face of inevitable decline.Key Themes & Meaning:
-
Defiance Against Death – The central message is a call to resist passivity in the face of death. The repeated line “Do not go gentle into that good night” urges the dying (particularly the speaker’s father) to rage against the dying of the light—to fight fiercely rather than surrender quietly.
-
Different Types of Men Facing Death – Thomas describes four kinds of men nearing death:
- Wise men (who know death is inevitable but refuse to accept it quietly).
- Good men (who lament their unfulfilled deeds).
- Wild men (who lived recklessly and realize too late the brevity of life).
- Grave men (who, despite physical weakness, find strength to resist).
Each group, in their own way, refuses to submit passively.
-
Personal Grief & Love – The poem is believed to be addressed to Thomas’s dying father, adding an emotional, personal layer. The plea “Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray” suggests a desperate desire for his father to show any sign of fight, even anger, rather than fading away.
-
The “Good Night” & “Dying of the Light” – These metaphors represent death. “Good night” suggests peaceful acceptance, but Thomas rejects this, insisting on a fiery, defiant end.
Why It’s Powerful:
- Universal Struggle – While personal, the poem speaks to the human instinct to cling to life.
- Form & Repetition – The villanelle structure (with its recurring lines) reinforces the urgency of the message.
- Emotional Intensity – Thomas blends sorrow, love, and defiance in a way that resonates deeply.
Final Takeaway:
The poem is not just about death but about how to live—urging us to fight for every moment, even when hope seems lost. It’s a celebration of human resilience in the face of mortality.
