    Dylan Thomas is alive and well on Solaris

    And Death shall have no Dominion.

    Dead mean naked they shall be one
    With the man in the wind and the west moon

    When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
    They shall have stars at elbow and foot

    Though they go mad they shall be sane,
    Though they sink through the sea
    they shall rise again;

    Though Lovers be Lost
    Love shall not
    And Death shall have no Dominion.


    Heard the song of the Poet
    That died in the gutter
    And its a hard
    And its a hard rains a gonna fall ...

    Or:

    Do not go gentle into that good night,
    Old age should burn and rave 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.

    Don't just sit there standing, get a brush and do some hoovering.
    If you tell me how many leeks are in the bag, I'll give you the pair of 'em.
    See those two house on the 'ill, mine's the one in the middle!.

    Learn Russian.

    Much more useful than Polish, and it is also the key to the other slavic languages (such as Polish, Serbian).

    Or you can just shout at them in Russian and they should understand. Well, the older ones will anyway
