Did anyone read the last line in this media article where it is a direct quote by Allison's sister Vanessa Fowler that ""She was borne down, her work left unfinished, yet she will be remembered for her acts of kindness and love.""
HI Lyndylogic and welcome to the forum.
I did not see this quote in the article, but I recognise the first bit as being from one of my favorite poems "The Morning of the Dead" by Judith Wright. I don't know if Vanessa was consciously quoting the poem or not, but here is the part of the poem it is from. I think it is very fitting to Allsion's untimely death:
Time's not for weeping.
Time and the world press on. So take life further,
Let the thin bubble of blown glass, the passion
of vision that is art, refine, reflect and gather
the moving pattern of all things in consummation
and thier rejoicing.
For this is what the dead desire - thier meaning.
"
I was borne down; my work was left unfinished;
alive i turned to stone; my love was ruined;
ignorance, opression, pain left my sight tarnished,
my world corrupt and dying.
Oh make me perfect.
Burn with a fire of sight the substance of my sorrow.
Take what i was and find in it that truth
the universes on thier holy journey
watch with thier eyes of fire. Illuminate my death.
Till all the dead stand in thier essence shining
Time has not learned its meaning."
