In Memoriam RONALD NEIL Youth is purity, The infinitesimal instant before the bubble bursts Exposing disillusionment and despair. To die in youth is to have preserved the wondrous bubble. Rainbows dance on its surface, Rainbows formed of kite-flying, small frogs, and childish miracles. Old mysteries are new; some puzzles have been solved. This is Childhood. But Youth is transition— Minus and plus, perhaps and maybe. The capture of Youth by Death is magnificent, For time and space stand still and Perpetual wonder endures forever. By ELIZABETH FERRY 16
