Do Not Go Gentle
■■■■■
Dylan Thomas's powerful villanelle about fighting against death is a celebrated work of poetry, but its most famous line is frequently misremembered with a slightly different verb.
●
What People Remember
Many recall the opening line as 'Do not GO QUIETLY into that good night.'
◉
What's Actually True
The actual line is 'Do not GO GENTLE into that good night,' using 'gentle' to convey a soft, passive resignation.
