Sad News


Recommended Posts

I've just learned the sad news. I've never met Thierry in person but I bought some tsuba from him, and I could appreciate his extreme kindness. My condolences  to family and close friends. He will be missed for a long time.

this is sad to read!

my condolences to relatives and family.

 

and again one serious collector passing away this time....

 

" Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike,

  whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all-

  the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor,

  the loved and the unloved. "

 

(Mark Twain)

Brassens, one of our late singers, has written in his song "les copains d'abord" (Pals first)

 

Au rendez-vous des bons copains

Y avait pas souvent de lapins

Quand l'un d'entre eux manquait a bord

C'est qu'il était mort

Oui, mais jamais, au grand jamais

Son trou dans l'eau n'se refermait

Cent ans après, coquin de sort

Il manquait encore

 

Roughly translate

 

At Pals' meetings

Seldom missings

When one was not there

It is be cause he was dead

But never, Oh Lord, never

His hole in the water shut

100 years later, he was still missed
