Farewell, Mb. Lis

*Farewell, Mb. Lis

Beloved editor, translator, mentor, shipmate, captain.


Joy, shipmate, joy!
Your life is closed, your life begins,
The long, long anchorage you leave,
The ship is clear at last, she leaps!
She swiftly courses from the shore,
Joy, shipmate, joy


(from Songs of Parting---Walt Whitman)
