...another light is dimmed. and here I was rereading A CENTURY OF LIONS/THE 20TH CENTURY TOP 100 jotting some notes, learning more- so wonderful the ideas that flow- so many wonderful posts and particularly enjoyed the interchanges between Edwarda and Neocon and now thinking maybe after a settling in, they get a chance to do that again- a cosmic conversation.

What a beautiful tribute, Bill. Somehow, I can just imagine that Neo is smiling softly.... We will miss his wit and wisdom, and the nearly lost art of gentle discussion.

Dear Michael, My heart hurts today, learning you've left us. You were one of the rare ones, one who treated others with kindness and respect even as you disagreed with them. You taught me that lesson (though I fell short many times) and I came to see you, or better the press of your influence here, as some kind of gentling hand on our contentious heads. I honor you with this poem by Emerson, which you surely knew. Which you surely lived. All Return Again It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but only retire a little from sight and afterwards return again. Nothing is dead; men feign themselves dead, and endure mock funerals and mournful obituaries, and there they stand looking out of the window, sound and well, in some new strange disguise. Jesus is not dead; he is very well alive; nor John, nor Paul, nor Mahomet, nor Aristotle; at times we believe we have seen them all, and could easily tell the names under which they go. Ralph Waldo Emerson I'll remember you, Michael.
