Dylan Thomas wrote this poem with not only one setting, but many. Over the compact nineteen lines of the poem, Thomas takes the readers from a lingering sunset to a bolt of lightning, from a green bay extending out from the seashore to a shooting star blazing across the sky, and finally to the top of a mountain. Even if these are metaphorical descriptions of life or death, these are all the grand aspects of nature. Of course, while the poem is taking the readers through all of nature, the speaker is actually sitting at his fathers bedside. The poem is in a very specific form of poetry: the villanelle. Villanelles have five three-line stanzas, the sixth stanzawith four lines, and a total of nineteen lines total. Do Not Go Gentle into
