For my friend Glen, who died yesterday.
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote
“Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.”-William Shakespeare, The Tempest

How very sad to read this news. My heart goes out to you. (Forgive me but the quote is not quite right as it should be ‘Our revels now are ended’,)

Yes, you are quite correct (and I have fixed it). It is the result of what is known as tying one on because you just found out that a dear friend was hit and killed by a semi truck. 😦 I am actually an ex-Shakespearean actor. Unfortunately, grief is not a good proofreader.

Oh my, that is unbelievably tragic. No, grief is an appalling proofreader. I lost three friends when I was running my theatre website and only now, as I transfer the articles to the new blog, am I seeing some of my howlers. Please take care.

Indeed! His poor family…
It is still very shocking. Losing one friend is horrible, but three is unimaginable! Thanks again for your kind words, and for pointing out my goof. I probably wouldn’t have noticed it for awhile.

Thank you! His funeral is today. I cannot go because it is in another state, but I know he is going to receive a fabulous send-off.
