Slow Verse
such words..
That’s really unfortunate.
I am so sorry to hear this. I only knew Lionel briefly through his poetry and comments – both are valuable to me. Lionel has left a shining legacy of linguistic wonder for his family and friends to indulge in and for the words he shared here, I am most grateful.
Memory eternal.
Sorry to learn of this. Rest in Peace and Poetry, Lionel.
Memory eternal.
Eternal rest grant unto him “in the long sleep beyond reach of civility and art,” to quote himself.
I have looked for copies of Lionel Willis’s books in vain and was sorry to learn of his death. May he rest in peace.
