such a treasure, mary. 

When death comes

like the hungry bear in autumn;

when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse

to buy me, and snaps the purse shut;

when death comes

like the measle-pox

when death comes

like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,

I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering:

what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?

And therefore I look upon everything

as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,

and I look upon time as no more than an idea,

and I consider eternity as another possibility,

and I think of each life as a flower, as common

as a field daisy, and as singular,

and each name a comfortable music in the mouth,

tending, as all music does, toward silence,

and each body a lion of courage, and something

precious to the earth.

When it's over, I want to say all my life

I was a bride married to amazement.

I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it's over, I don't want to wonder

if I have made of my life something particular, and real.

I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,

or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world

...and so frank with her explanations and commentary... regardless of subject matter.  What some may have thought as titillating, she exposed the under-meaning.  RIP Sr. Wendy.

Yup used to watch her when she did her shows on PBS with mom; with both of us being artists. She was brilliant and some times funny in her interpretation of the art and sculptures.

yeah well Clint was no sweetheart to her.  Really sad what she went through upon meeting that guy.  I hope she is at peace if not, haunting his effing ass.

Yeah, I remembered seeing a headline about her back then, but it was a "sidebar" link in some other article I was reading.  I don't actively read or watch very much "entertainment" media, but I didn't see or hear much else about her back then either.  I came across that Tweet photo today and thought it was odd that aside from writing such a dismissive headline that THR waited all this time to write an obituary.  The linked article has some other points that THR neglected.
