What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins

Indeed.
For your creativity and prodigious output, for your clarity and devotion to the life of ideas, and for your steady gaze into the poetic reaches of space, you will be missed.
