Ouch, why does altavista have more links for it.
Is it from the poem "The cry of a warrior"?
I'm scared, the fight is about to begin.
This lonesome warrior feels his end.
As a boy I learned to hate,
that is what made me great.
Before I die in this last fight,
with my last breath I unleash a loud cry,
I scream "We will not go quietly into the night"
Quoting another great warrior "We have not yet begun to fight"
We will not stop nor yeild,
Till we've cast your ass' off this field.
So young warrior heed my words,
'Cause someday the rage will be yours.
The reference I was thinking of turned out to be in relation to Dylan Thomas.
So this one, I finally found in the google Usenet archives:
Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night
Dylan Thomas (written in May, 1951 during the final illness of his
father)
"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."
