“Rage?” No, but...

"Rage, rage against the dying of the light…" Dylan Thomas

The poet wrote that when he was 33, drank himself to death at 39--this is not the perspective of a mature older person who's grasped and accepted the human condition.

But, I learned shortly after posting that this morning, the 28-year old daughter of a dear friend who married in April and is the soul of kindness has just discovered that she's hosting an advanced brain tumor. Emergency surgery imminent. 

Rage in such an instance would not be misplaced, if there were any agency to lodge it with or against.
