There are only a few universal truths in this world, and one of them is that everyone dies. Dylan Thomas knows this and uses it to create common ground. No matter what choices a person has made in their life, death will come for them. This doesn't mean you should take it easy; in fact, it means you have to fight as hard as you can against it. People from all walks of life should comply. The dreams we have are reason enough to continue living and fighting. The two repetitive rhymes in this poem play a big role in the greatness of this poem. The second rhyme uses the word "rage", which is a very strong word. Instead of saying be angry about your death, Thomas says you should "be angry" and fight against it. Rage, compared to anger, is much deeper and more fiery. It’s something that is intrinsically instilled in you. Rage is something that comes from deep within you. Dylan Thomas also says that wise men, even if “their words are not enlightened” (2.2.1242), must continue to live in order to make a difference. When lightning bifurcates, it strikes the ground with impact. This choice of words is powerful given the context; which impacts the way people think and live. Wise men wish to impart their wisdom to others, or to create a divide or division in the way people usually think. Visually, the éclairs also appear fractured and forked. Thomas also writes: “Good men, the last wave has passed, crying how bright it was / Their fragile deeds could have danced in a green bay” (3.2-3.1243). The last wave refers to two different things. This could be the last goodbye before death, but it could also compare their lives to the crashing waves. Good men also want to see their efforts bear fruit. We can consider their actions as seeds. The seeds could grow, blossom, and “dance” into a “green berry.” The color green represents wealth and fertility. Dylan Thomas also makes excellent use of allegories to inspire his readers. Such
