Hee, I just realized I missed an opportunity to title it "Gently, Do Not Go"

I found the poem to be an inspiration while I worked on the picture, a sort of backdrop to the feelings it gave me. For reference and inspiration:


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.

Haha good point XD

I remember memorizing this one, specifically.  I had a couple friends in class that were these guys that thought it was cool to be bad at school, so the only parts they memorized were "Rage, rage" so when the whole class was saying it out loud together, they were quietly mumbling til they'd say "RAGE RAGE" XD
