                                              “Cast a cold eye

                                                On life, on death.

                                                Horseman, pass by!”

                       

                         The words are from William Butler Yeats.  I quoted

                         them near the end of STORM PASSAGE and finally lived

                         the image.

                            My 70th birthday.  I am not winking.  My right eye was    

                            two months post retina surgery.  The green wrist band a    

                            medical alert of a nitrogen bubble in that eye.
