   Dennis Cole…every time I see one of his Republican clown illustrations, I wonder if he is still with us. Somehow I missed that he left. So, he did. We lost a good Scissorhead.

     I wondered too but was too meek to ask (plus, I didn’t want hear/know he was gone, to retain hope that he was still among us). I’m grateful that Tengrain employs his illustrations/posts/contributions …

     James Whitcomb Riley

     I cannot say, and I will not say
     That he is dead- . He is just away!

     With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand
     He has wandered into an unknown land,

     And left us dreaming how very fair
     It needs must be, since he lingers there.

     And you- O you, who the wildest yearn
     For the old-time step and the glad return- ,

     Think of him faring on, as dear
     In the love of There as the love of Here;

     And loyal still, as he gave the blows
     Of his warrior-strength to his country’s foes- .

     Mild and gentle, as he was brave- ,
     When the sweetest love of his life he gave

     To simple things- : Where the violets grew
     Blue as the eyes they were likened to,

     The touches of his hands have strayed
     As reverently as his lips have prayed:

     When the little brown thrush that harshly chirred
     Was dear to him as the mocking-bird;

     And he pitied as much as a man in pain
     A writhing honey-bee wet with rain- .

     Think of him still as the same, I say:
     He is not dead- he is just away!
