He is dead. The Iroko has fallen! The sage that was most garbed in the ancient lore of story-telling is dead! Death! Dead! Never have i been hard-hit by news of the dead in recent times. " tis knot in my nightmare
wld be the blue river
the key to the fields openin
a certain door to all to the wind of fire?
I came;
frm a certain wood we make a certain door
i no longer knw the essence of my soul
to open that door
as did the fathers of my spirits" tchicaya U'tamsi(AWS) RIP Prof.
