Or will you "rage, rage, against the dying of the light"? Though Dylan Thomas wrote these lines with his father in mind, I wonder which bit of advice he was following by drinking himself to death? What a loss that he never quite recognized the light within himself, because he was so close!

Personally, as a result of a couple of near misses, I am already reconciled to my death. I have seen and done plenty. I should like to be able to choose the manner of it, like Lord Nelson, but Death tends to mock us like an unwelcome guest at a party.
Maybe Dylan Thomas was really raging against the loss of his own artistic powers, as he aged, caused by his over-drinking?

Yes, absolutely. I want a peaceful old age. But that is still a long time off. Meanwhile I rage all I can, so maybe "the good night" will catch me unexpectedly when I am still a vigorous young man of 90.

I'll rage as long as it is worthwhile raging, then accept it and go gently if I must.

As you say, he wasn't following advice, he was giving it.
I'll go peacefully only if there is no way out of it.

A sage once said, "It's always better to travel well than to arrive." ...I prefer to go gentle into that good night.
Peace be with you.

If I spend too much time worrying about the end, I won't enjoy the journey.
