What kind of legacy does a great mind leave
When it shifts from this mortal coil?
What is left after all has been done and said?
What remains of the hopes and dreams
when people remember the man who had been?
Is it the buildings?
The centers?
The labs?
The papers?
Is it the many presentations upon so many stages
That leaves the rest of humanity to guess
What would have been done next?
Or is it the students?
The colleagues?
The nemeses and friends?
Will those who speak now
forever create the space
You inhabit in our minds?
Or, is what is said here on
This Week in Science.
