The one and only Oakley Hall passed away. My wonderful writing teacher, known as Rebel Girl wrote this about him. She also quoted him, from his novel "Warlock" which I was lucky enough to hear him speak about:
"But those I love more do not sleep, and see no hope, and suffer for those brave ones who will fall in hopeless effort for us all, whose only gift to us will be that we will grieve for them a little while; those who see, as I have come to see, that life is only event and violence without reason or cause, and that there is no end but the corruption and the mock of courage and hope."
What a beautiful and heartbreaking sentence. The world is a lesser place today.
