He Longed for the sea as I have longed For the mountains and valleys of my youth. You know he escaped communist Russia And refuge found in a welcoming France, Then a move to America where he taught At Dartmouth college in New Hampshire state. He founded the journal, ‘The Russian Review' A labour of love, for the samizdat, Secret messages from under the thumb Of communism smuggled out By those saw the purges going on. There is so much more that I could tell, His belovéd friends, Rene‘, Erika, Who on our visits to his Hanover home Came close to me as loved ones and friends. He gave to all in Auroville And laboured with me planting trees. What else can I in love for him And of his generosity say, Now and ever for him I pray.
