I think it's an absolutely beautiful work. I love the idea that Thomas tells his readers to live life as fully as you can until the end comes. We should never just give up on life and wait to die.Life is too precious to waste a minute.

I think it's beautiful. I particularly enjoy Dylan's use of language and style. It's extremely difficult to write a Villanelle, but Thomas does it with such ease. Love it.

I understand that it was written after his father's death. The event had such an impact on him that he wrote this amazing work. I've actually heard a recording of him reading the poem. It was inspiring and somewhat chilling at the same time. His tone was (understandably) morose.

It's probably one of the best modern examples of the villanelle format. It's a pretty good poem too.

I think it is one of the greatest statements about determination that I've ever read.
