I see Dr. Uranus dead, attend his funeral, share some memories,
and try out some framework stories of Dr. Uranus.
Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm That will not forsake me Till my tale is told and done While the firelight's aglow Strange shadows from the flames will grow 'till things we've never seen Will seem familiar While the storyteller speaks A door within the fire creaks Suddenly flies open |
The storyteller makes no choice Soon you will not hear his voice His job is to shed light And not to master Since the end is never told We pay the teller off in gold In hopes he will come back But he cannot be bought or sold ---"Terrapin Station" The Grateful Dead |
Emily called me about eight o'clock on December 9 in a panic, saying Dr. Uranus was collapsed in his chair, not moving, not responding to her. She couldn't reach his son Walter who was on the road in his eighteen wheeler.
