Everybody believes 

.

That Thomas had intended

.

To ply his rage

.

Against the menacing, and impending 

.

Onset, of death - against the end, and the end's imminence.

.

.

But,

.

They all overlook 

.

That the poem was dedicated, first, to Milton's Sonnet

.

Which ended its days

.

Deliberating upon a dying light

.

As an analogous image, to blindness.

.
