Leil Leibovitz quoting Leonard Cohen, whose work comforted Hitchens in his last days:
Fascinating essay, about "about nothing".
“As I grew older,” Cohen wrote, “I understood that instructions came with this voice. And the instructions were these: … Never to lament casually. And if one is to express the great inevitable defeat that awaits us all, it must be done within the strict confines of dignity and beauty.”
Fascinating essay, about "about nothing".
Reminds me of this!
