Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

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.

I just missed finding a manuscript for this not half of an hour ago. I was five minutes late to get to Yesterdog in Grand Rapids. Oh well, I’ll just have to buy it. Congratulations to Don Miller with his new book. There is some good news at least: he is coming to Calvin this month.

I’ve really enjoyed the new album, but the lyrics are disconcerting to me. Some of the sentiments fly in the face of everything I believe. “Pariah” and “I Just Don’t Know” in particular talk about giving up all belief and faith. It sounds like some real searching and frustration, which is something I can relate to and respect however. The element of...
