OP What a dreadful day. We are mourning the passing of BeingCJ and Eudora Welty and the expected departure of George Harrison, which brings many of us to mourn the pasing of a part of our youth, as well as the Beatle himself. I offer the following from Idylls of the King, Arthur's farewell to Bedivere:
The old order changeth, yielding place to new,
And God fulfils himself in many ways,
Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.
Comfort thyself; what comfort is in me?
I have lived my life, and that which I have done
May He within himself make pure! but thou,
If thou shouldst never see my face again,
Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them friend?
For so the whole round earth is every way
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.
