DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO REAL UNDERSTANDING OF GTR

Do not go gentle into real understanding of GTR,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage and bluster against the understanding of GTR.

Though wise men at their end know ignorance is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into real science.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage and bluster against the understanding of GTR.

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 and bluster against the understanding of GTR.

And you, fool Potter, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce blusters, I pray.
Do not go gentle into real understanding of GTR.
Rage and bluster against the understanding of GTR.

Did someone say:
"The General Relativity Cult are circling the wagons?"

No. Someone said, "Tom Potter is so ignorant that a literary allusion
to a well-known work will sail right over his head."


A word to the wise Wormley.
Don't give up your day job,
and plan on writing poetry for a living.

Worked out OK for Dylan Thomas

Sam did convince me of one thing with
the "rage and bluster" in his poom.

I will not waste my time trying to gain a "real understanding"
(Hypnotizing myself to see things that are not there.)
in astrology, mind reading, time travel, worm holes,
and other things that waste time, money and minds.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

"A mind is terrible thing to lose." Dan Quayle

(On General Relativity and bad poetry.)
