unavoidable even though these wise men
2:37
know that a dark is right they do not
2:39
accept death quietly they know that
2:42
Death is certain yet they resist it the

2:52
effect like lightning does in the sky

by suggests that they are nearing the
3:21
end of their lives much like the last
3:23
wave approaches the shore they cry out
3:26
because they realize that their good
3:28
actions which the poet calls frail Deeds
3:30
did not have as much of a lasting impact
3:32
as they had hoped the image danced in a
3:35
Green Bay symbolizes a lively and
3:37
beautiful place possibly representing
3:39
life or nature even though these good
3:42
men have lived meaningful lives they
3:44
still regret not having made a stronger
3:46
impression therefore they also rage
3:49
against the dying of the light refusing
3:51
to accept death without a fight wild men
3:54
who caught and sang the sun in Flight
3:57
andne learn too late they grieved it on

4:14
is a metaphor it means that these wild
4:16
men enjoyed life while it was happening
4:19
much like trying to capture the Sun as
4:20
it moves across the sky however they
4:24
later realize that time has passed and
4:27
opportunities the phrase of grieved on
4:29
its way suggests that they regret the
4:32
passage of time and the approach of
4:33
death even though they come to this
4:35
realization too late they do not accept
4:38
peacefully instead they continue to

these men are serious or thoughtful
5:02
individuals nearing the end of their
5:04
lives the phrase near death who see with
5:07
blinding sight means that these men gain
5:09
a deep and sudden understanding about
5:11
life as they approach death the term
5:13
blinding sight suggests that this new
5:16
understanding is intense and
5:17
overwhelming it possibly refers to a
5:20
spiritual or emotional Awakening the
5:23

6:14
strong emotions whether it is through
