In Memoriam 2018

“They shall grow not old, As we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn; At the going down of the sun and in the morning; We will remember them.”

Capt Simon Horn RB and LRB 8 December

Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am that swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

Mary Frye, 1932
