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.

When I was young this was just a very good poem. Now in my old age Tom Hiddleston’s voice reading this poem gives new meaning to a beautiful poem. Iwas not feeling well tonight but now I feel much better, but of course Tom always makes me feel better❤️❤️

I loved this since interstellar and now read by him I wanna cry

Here he is sadly not interpreting the poem (apart from a little bit towards the end). It's almost as if he's trying to keep the tone his fans like and keep that tone at all costs. It's a rather strange choice for an artist and rather an unfortunate choice. Apart from the original recording, I'd say Burton's was the best.

We need to do an analysis on this poem and this audio of him reading it is definitely enough motivation for me 😩😩

I could listen to him forever so relaxing 😊

My favourite poem n listening him reciting it a pleasure...

Wauw this is beautiful!!! I love it that a actor loves poetry too, like I never heared of it before :D

This is a poem I committed to memory, so I was sure I must have made a mistake - but Hiddleston reads: “you, my father there onTHAT sad height.” Minor textual thing but it jarred me since I’d memorized it.

The poem has become more dear to me after you recited it

Loki never went gentle into that good night. he always escapes at the last minute

I love Sheen's version. It's a constant pleading to the father, whereas this one is more a son trying a logical argument only to let his emotions slip at the end.

Background music is based on Chopin's Nocturne op. 55. no. 1, which I have always thought was based on a Polish funeral chant (but can't find it). Thanks for the reading.

I understand the arch of this poem and the character's feelings toward death, but I'm surprised by Tom's tone in the last stanza.

When he reads the poetry.He's the most hansom.

I think the line , wild men , who caught and sang the sun in flight . Should be read more rhythmically, when I read it I always add a little lilt to it .I realise listening to Dylans reading of this, he does not add this phrasing to that one line .

Is this what loki is doing inside the tree?
