RIP
Anne McCaffrey
1 April 1926 - 21 November 2011
Amazing author of the Dragonriders of Pern series of books, and other novels.
A heart that's true in harper blue
makes song from heart's own fire,
and though betrayed, is not afraid:
in danger, leaps up higher.
For if you die, while safe you lie
halled in your selfish bone,
no chant will come, no harper drum,
and you'll lie long alone.
Get up, take heart--go, make a start,
sing out the truth you come for.
Then when you die, your heart may fly
to halls we have no name for.
~All the Weyrs of Pern
