Farewell, Leonard Nimoy

FAREWELL, LEONARD NIMOY Because the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many, I hope you’ll indulge this old Trekkie with one more sad submit to notice the passing of somebody who, though we by no means met, has meant a lot to me my complete life, or a minimum of for the reason that day after my second birthday. I’ll let Captain Kirk (by way of screenwriter Jack B. Sowards) say what I can’t . . . “We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And but it should be famous that within the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place within the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a brand new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not really feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we won't debate his profound knowledge at these proceedings. Of my good friend, I can solely say this: “Of all of the souls I even have encountered in my travels, his was the most human.” And with that, a star has winked out. â€"Philip Athans A bout Philip Athans Fill in your details under or click an icon to log in: You are commenting utilizing your WordPress.com account.
