Leonard Cohen RIP

[poliphilo]

He placed himself a hundred floors below Hank Williams but I think that was unduly modest of him. He was a true poet and wrote lines that scald. It was an interesting life and he sang every part of it. I don't think he's left us, really- just moved to that tower down the track.

'Myself I long for love and light,
But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?'

A master of language. Dylan's equal- but so very different.
