Mourn, for with him we lose our last
Chance to redeem the errors of the past.
No more with dull assurance can we meet,
Pointing to him, our critics-in-the-street.
O friends, our chief art-oracle is mute:
Mourn for the horse of living flesh and blood,
The prototype by which we could refute
All criticism while he stood.
