Dedication We see now that the life of Dr. Edwin Sandberg was a life of paradox, hfis voice was not powerful, but it spoke of powerful ideas, hie walked slowly in the tangled red grass of pain, but his spirit was silver-paced like stars that swing In orbits nearer to the sun than we. We take the paradox one step beyond, learning, from stars that seem to fall, another certainty. We will not see the wisp of smoke or hear the crisp precision of the words again, but there is more. The spirit, freer now, expands in memory, quietly, clearly, calmly — up through the range of night to morning and the dawn star. For the larger paradox is also promise, even in the old despair of night, of night fallen too soon. We say, Death, be not proud — or cold or dark, for that matter, for light and resurrection come In swings of God ' s long orbital purposes. Dr. Edwin T. Sandberg Meanwhile, we dedicate this book, so full of the things he knew and loved, to his memory, recalling his courage, his firm Intellectual purposes, and, most of all, these words from one of his own poems: A man may build a monument to time Or use the time to build a monument, For youth and truth, and sign and rime Are firmer builders of a sacrament. If toll were easy, light the reward; The sense of doing is the sense of being. And strong disciples of the Master ' s Word Are those who bring the Master ' s plans to being. — Time by Edwin T. Sandberg — J. S.
