IN MEMORIUM




 Upon the Sudden Death in the Night
 on a Road near Saratoga, Wyoming
on September 3, 2010

 of

He who learns must suffer.
And even in our sleep,
pain that cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
and in our despair, against our will,
comes wisdom to us
by the awful grace of god.
Aeschylus
Agamemnon  l.179ff
Edith Hamilton, translator

He was my friend and colleague
