A great poet has left us.
Seamus Heaney, Nobel laureate, "keeper of language," gone too soon.
"When I landed in the republic of conscience
it was so noiseless when the engines stopped
I could hear a curlew high above the runway. …
No porters. No interpreter. No taxi.
You carried your own burden and very soon
your symptoms of creeping privilege disappeared."

-- Seamus Heaney
Simplicity is the removal of the useless and the unnecessary--source unknown
