It is one of the more subtly tragic aspects of his death, a misfortune not only to a fecund mind that needed free utterance, but to a country which is nearly starved for thought, that he should in these last years have been doomed to silence. He who should have spoken for them-and who might still have spoken for them-went down to the grave voiceless. (Randolph Bourne)
