Heath Ledger - the grieving thread
HerrKaiser:
thanks Pete, the images are quite wonderful. Music is always so subjective, but yes, I wonder about the song as well. Dated and written originally for president Kennedy following his assisination, I recall. Obviously the creator of the piece felt it paralleled that feeling, which may well be what he feels/sees. who can argue.

Last night, I did not have to seek, I already had a ticket for a well-timed Boston Symphony concert: a performance of The Dream of Gerontius, a big work for soloists, orchestra and chorus by Edward Elgar which depicts the passage of the soul from this life to the next.

Andrew -
Good to see your post! I've been wondering how you were doing.
Anazing that you already had a ticket to this concert. Sometimes I think there are no coincidences and that things like this happen for a reason. Thanks for posting.

In this link is information about the Australia Day Ball in Manhattan where Heath was honoured - with one minute of silence. Scroll down a bit and you see an image taken during the silence - the picture they've got up on their screen to remember Heath by brought tears to my eyes. Of course...

Thanks for posting this Mikaela... I've actually been very curious about how Heath's passing would be handled at Australia Day events. Talk about sad, sad circumstances for this year's Australia Day.

From John Donne's Meditation XVII
...All [hu]mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated; ... God's hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another.
