Traducing Dylan Thomas

 The Guardian has the following headline about the Trumpist March in Washington: "Million Maga March: Trump fans rage against dying of the light".

I must register my firm disapprobation of the use of the phrase "dying of the light" here. GRRM's use in a title is passable, but applying Thomas' poem about death to the winding down of a presidential term is just not acceptable.
