Default Wilbur Elegy

Weekly Standard has linked and Commonweal posted my elegy for Richard:
https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/poem-letter-belmont

I wrote the first five stanzas, the Master/pupil poem, in September, then wrote the postscript minutes after hearing the news.

Yeats told us we must choose between the life and work. Richard succeeded brilliantly at both.
