“Omega Elegeia by Stewart Stafford
This master of words hath no more,
The hand that penned them stilled,
What you read is an epitaph,
The remnant body of work willed.
Honour and cherish this legacy,
As his flesh and bone are dust,
His poetic flame snuffed hither,
His spirit flown, in that, we trust.
His face was familiar to many,
But known to a precious few,
Now 'tis hidden forevermore,
Covertly in plain sight, anew.

“From sea's wide spring || out flows the tide:
It advances, retreats, || it smashes, crushes.
The lament for Cú Roí || has distressed me;
The cold silencing, of a hard man || full of passion:
I've seldom heard || of greater misfortune.”
― The Book of Taliesin: Poems of Warfare and Praise in an Enchanted Britain
