不要輕易絕望和放棄
在電影星際啟示錄(Interstellar)中,人類面對未知的宇宙感到無比的絕望時,其中一段由天文學教授引用過的詩詞非常值得細味
詩句中提到Wise Men, Good Men, Wild Men, 和Grave Men四種人,無論如何絕望都不應隨便放棄,要燃燒生命作出生命怒吼,向無盡的黑夜反抗
Do not go gentle into that good night
Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
