Blanche
Classy name! Blanche Dubois ... makes one wish that one were called " General Hiram T Beauregard.
Ah, Dylan! One of my most memorable aural experiences was back in the 1950s, listening to a young Richard Burton reading Under Milk Wood. Golden days, when Auntie Beeb wasn't staffed by ignorant louts ; Gorgonian trollops and ill-bred barrow boys. Er ... you don't work for them, do you?
My epitaph : already written boy old Omar....
" And when Thyself with shining foot shall pass
among the Guests Star-scattered on the grass,
and in thy joyous Errand reach the spot
where I made one ---- turn down an empty Glass!"
Good luck with your blog

Ariel,
"Do not go gently into that good night/Rage, rage against the dying of the light!". I think Dylan had a different view of old age, but rage is draining and futile, and ultimately accepting the inevitable has more grace and nobility. Beautiful poem.

I've often wondered about this. Your poignant post clears things up considerably.
