Press Valiantaly Towards...

• Artist: YumeriaFreak
• Description: So the title has an ellipse since it wouldn't fit. XD But the real title is in the poem.
  This is semi in the style of "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night" by Dylan Thomas. Not nearly as good though. XD

  See if you can spot the allusions and emblematic image. ;-)

Press Valiantly Towards the Darkening Valley

Press valiantly towards the darkening valley
Turn not back towards the lambent light
Rest your mind come the close of the finale.



Embrace the change from autumn bright to winter white
Let Great Chronos make fall the sands of time
Rejoice in dimming, fleeting sight
Of words too often made to rhyme
Of vows gold-coated, separated, and torn
Of notes played in failure: a disheartening crime



Where art the glory of days forlorn?
Where are the swans I counted at Coole?
Where is the bellow of Hammerhand Horn?

Alas, the thread runs quickly from the spool.
To seek more line would find me the fool.
And so I bravely part into the shadow of night.
May God grant me peace, wisdom, and might.

Thank you. I think I'll add a link to a website with the poem.

I don't know the Dylan Thomas piece that you're referring to but I still liked how it flowed ith its own beat.
