Το πιο συγκινητικό αντίο στον Robin Williams με την ίδια του τη φωνή

 

Ο ηθοποιός και εξαιρετικός μίμος, Jim Meskimen, που αρκετές φορές στο παρελθόν είχε μιμηθεί τη φωνή του Robin Williams, επέλεξε να αποχαιρετήσει τον ηθοποιό με ένα ποίημα γραμμένο ειδικά για εκείνον.

 

Οι στίχοι λένε:

 

«They didn’t burn all the pianos

When Fredrick Chopin died

 

Didn’t outlaw oil paints

when Picasso took his final ride

 

No one put a stop to baseball

When Mickey Mantle’s time was up

 

Or banned all Russian novels

When Tolstoy went belly up

 

On Shakespeare’s death, nobody said

“Now hath arrived the day —

 

From this point hence let none dare

Put forth pen to write a play!”

 

We celebrate what’s left

By the departed, it’s our choice

 

Yet it does seem sacriligeous

To do Robin Williams’ voice

 

A voice that was designed to soothe,

Soft, deep tones that resonate

 

And cascade gently outward

From behind a smiling face

 

A voice that could accelerate

To catch up with the mind

 

Like shifting into overdrive

To not get left behind

 

A voice that could change character

Like seconds on a clock

 

Or hijack nationalities

For a spin around the block

 

Shift age, shift viewpoint, shift I.Q.,

Whatever’s not nailed down

 

Destroy, rebuild, destroy again,

A formidable clown

 

We’ll hear this voice in future times

In reruns on TV,

 

It will occupy the world wide web

Live on, digitally

 

We’ll hear its echoes come

From other mouths and other lips

 

In tributes and homages, and,

Like psychedelic trips

 

We’ll think the owner’s back again

With his familiar sound

 

But they’ll all be imitations —

Just an audible rebound

 

New jokes aren’t in the pipeline now,

Not that the well went dry —

 

But the jester who possessed this voice

Just chose to say goodbye

 

With the wealth of joy he left us

We should probably rejoice

 

But it’s hard to grasp we lost the guy

Who used to have this voice.»
