A Poem If I May.
The words of D.H. Lawrence were never any more clear:

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

Godspeed to you.

Karl Rove speaks of him in an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal online this past Friday.
