Friends,
Not yet...
fellows,
Perhaps...
countrymen.
Not necessarily...
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Is it your view that you might be in such a position to offer such permissions?
I come not to bury George Lucas,
This is fortuitous given that he is neither here nor likely ready to be buried...
but to praise him.
Is such to be done in song or in dance?
The bodies of men's offspring are oft interred before their eyes;
Truly? How oft might oft be such a case? Which country might you call home?
but the stories that they tell live on forever.
Given the unfortunate lack of evidence supporting such a position to be overwhelming...how might you have come to it initially?
So let it be with Lucas.
The part about him burying his offspring or ?
The noble people here have told you Lucas was avaricious; if so, it were a grievous fault, and grievously hath Lucas answered it.
Which is to be considered grievous: the avarice or the mentioning of same?
If the former, Lucas' response to such a charge might be possible, whereas his answer to avarice itself must needs surely be nonsensical...
If the latter, if so grievously at fault might be such people, how might same yet have been considered noble?
Alternately, if Lucas might have been given to offering grievous answers, is not the first instance of grievousness to at least be somewhat mitigated?
Here, under leave of all
Impossible...
--for so you are, all modest men--
Unlikely...
come I to speak as a herald of Lucas's resurrection.
Might you not yet be forgetting that a resurrection necessitates a prior death...?
He was my friend, faithful and just to me;
Is it possible that he might then be convinced to loan to you certain, ah, footage of keen interest to this site?
but you all say that he was avaricious;
Seemingly some must have been absent when such a pole might have been taken...
and you all are modest men.
...
He hath kept many stories in his breast in Xanadu; did this in Lucas seem avaricious?
If such things are truly being kept in such a place it might yet be possible to offer an explanation for some of what has transpired...better to keep such things on a shelf...
When that the poor hath cried, Lucas hath given; avarice should be made of sterner stuff; yet you all say he was avaricious; and you are all modest men.
You all did see that this day, he did present me with a thrice-horned crown,
I was not such a witness...
which I nine times accepted; was this avarice?
If it might have required a nine-part acceptance is not such a potential sign of his great reluctance to part with even so strange a gift? Is it more rational to believe you might have been possessed of an absolute stutter during such a ceremony or that Lucas merely attempted to repossess the alleged gift during eight successive lapses of judgement?
Yet you all say he is avaricious; and you are all modest men.
I speak not to disprove what you all speak; but here I am to speak what I do know.
Seemingly what you know and what you think you know have parted ways...
You all did love him once, not without cause: what cause withholds you then, to praise him?
Is it to be believed that your powers of observation might be so impoverished?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, to fish and birds, and men have lost their sense of wonder and mystery.
Is it not seemingly a greater wonder and mystery that judgment might flee to beasts of alleged brutality? Further, is it to be believed that fish and birds might be considered chief among them?
Bear with me;
Then I suggest that you stand very still.
my heart is in the tomb under the Mountain,
This must be very difficult for you...particularly should you need to run from this bear...
there with Lucas,

and I must pause till it come back to me.
Well there must be little wonder given your current lack of circulation...
