20. Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night-Dylan Thomasp 305 Q & A Villanelle-19 line poem with repeating rhymes One ArtElizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster. I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster. Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident the art of losing’s not too hard to master though it may look like a disaster. • How should people behave when death is near? • List the 4 kinds of men the author names. • Who is the receiver of this poem? • What do wise men know at the end? • Identify the main idea. • Serious people will regret what? • Identify the rhyme. • What regrets did both type of men have?
