"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Gordon Lightfoot, Rest in Peace


Gordon Lightfoot has passed.

Wisdom comes through suffering.
Trouble, with its memories of pain,
Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep,
So men against their will
Learn to practice moderation.
Favours come to us from gods.

Aeschylus

My favorite Lightfoot tune, "Restless"
Like a specter from the past ...
