Isidoro de Sevilla (560-636), who later became a saint; probably the wisest man of the 7th century. He wrote the Etimologías, a huge compendium of the knowledge until that moment and his own views or thoughts about a wide range of topics. This image is a painting of him from the year 1655 by the Spanish painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.

Interstellar

The poem from Dylan Thomas depicted in Christopher Nolan's film.
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rage at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
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, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
(ES)
El poema de Dylan Thomas que aparece en la película de Christopher Nolan.
No te vayas dócilmente a la buena noche, La vejez debería arder y rabiar al final del día; Furia, rabia contra la agonía de la luz.
Aunque los sabios al morir saben que la tiniebla es justa, porque sus palabras no ensartaron relámpagos, ellos no se van dóciles a la buena noche.
Los buenos, que tras la última inquietud lloran por ese brillo, con sus actos frágiles pudieron danzar en una bahía verde. Furiosos, rabian contra la agonía de la luz.
Los salvajes que cazaron y cantaron al sol al vuelo, y aprendieron, demasiado tarde, que le apenaron en su camino, no entran dócilmente a la buena noche.
Los solemnes, cercanos a la muerte, que ven con mirada cegadora cuando los ojos ciegos podrían alegrarse y arder como meteoros. Furia, rabia contra la agonía de la luz.
Y tú, padre mío, ahí en la triste altura, maldíceme, bendíceme ahora con tus lágrimas fieras, yo rezo. No vayas dócil hacia la buena noche.

Portada de una de las ediciones del poemario «Ariel» de la estadounidense Sylvia Plath. Su estilo de poesía confesional tiene una fuerza prodigiosa y, pese a que su atormentada mente y ciertos baches en su vida la condujeron a un trágico final siendo aún joven, es todo un referente en las letras americanas.
