millbank Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Sadness has lessened somewhat replaced by precious fine memories. The precious people with get to know do live on. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow, Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell; And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die. -John Donne remembering Paul Edited May 15, 2012 by millbank

GG Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Let's raise a cold long neck in his honor tonight. RIP BiB (and ghost of)
blzrul Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 A fine tribute but in the back of my mind I have to wonder if he wouldn't just smack you for it. Just cause he was that kind of guy. RIP Paul...never forgotten.
Willyville Guy Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Never met Paul; never met any of you. I just wanted to say that DC Tom's eulogy--including his observation that BiB died of a broken heart--stands among the most moving tributes I ever read. Rest in peace.
