The night Richard finished this poem Alan and I had brought over Thai noodles for Charlee and Dick. He very nervously told us that he wanted to read us a new poem. (Why he would ever be nervous around us is beyond me.) His concern was "fiats." He read us some alternate last lines, and Alan shouted Fiat Lux. So it shall be for the ages.
