In memorium. Mick's loss brings a whole new meaning to these words...



"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds ... and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of ... wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,

I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft throught footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue

I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.

And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."


Rest in peace,

Rob
