So true.

"Fear no more" is a good elegy for a Shakespearean, I guess. In Tony's case it was also one of his favourite pieces of poetry, so at the beginning of the service a baritone sang it in the setting by Finzi, and then later someone read the passage from Tony's book where he writes about it.

If there's an afterlife, I like to think of Tony sitting and drinking with Shakespeare, finding out what was reallyin his head when he wrote. Perhaps Professor Salingar is there too?
