1 answer

In poetic terms, the first line of Dylan Thomas's poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" is called the "refrain." The line "Do not go gentle into that good night" is repeated several times throughout the poem, emphasizing its central theme of resisting death and the struggle against the inevitability of mortality. Additionally, the term "line" refers to any single line of poetry, but in this case, since it's repeated, it takes on a refraining quality.
