Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.

For Arthur...

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

To the families of Art Schlesinger, Jr:
Extending deepest and sincerest sympathies to you and your families.
What a truly remarkable gentleman. Because of his genuine and sincere "cause and effect" mannerisms, his uniqueness made this a better world to live in. He had politics and history mastered into an art and a science. It was an honor and a privilege to have known him.

Arthur Schlesinger was one of the most brilliant, eloquent and inspiring Americans of the twentieth century. He was a patriot in the truest sense of the word. That is, he constantly exhorted his compatriots to live up to the best and most enduring ideals of the American republic, ideals embodied by Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Adlai Stevenson and John F. Kennedy. The best tribute that we can pay to the memory of this great historian is to encourage all Americans to involve themselves in the political process, and to look out for the needs of those who are less fortunate, both within our own country and around the world. May God bless Arthur Schlesinger for his immeasurable contributions to the land he loved.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I cherish my memories of hearing Arthur speak about the lessons of history.

Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.was a wonderful man. May he Rest in Peace. Our deepest sympathy to his family.

I recall Dr. Schlesinger visiting Lock Haven University when I was a student. My sympathies to one and all & I am grateful for his contributions to society.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

As a writer and a former public servant, I was inspired by Arthur Schlesinger. Despite the fact that we came from different generations and different political parties, he was an inspiration to me in my career. God bless him and all who enjoyed "that brief shining moment" in history (with apologies to William Manchester who actually coined the phrase).

The great good you did for America and the world, will be written in the archives of eternal history.

It was with great sadness that I read of the passing of Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.

I am proud to say that I was a student of Prof. Schlesinger at the CUNY Graduate School. His course, The US and the Cold War, which I was a member of in the fall of 1993 was his last before retiring from teaching.

It was truly an amazing experience to have such a wodnerful and brilliant man lead us through a history that tumultuous era.

He will be missed by all who love history. Happily, his work will live on through his many books and other great writings.

With deepest condolences to his family, I wish to just say thank you to a great man.

What a life!

Be proud of the accomplishments of Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. He has left a legacy of knowledge that will be appreciated throughout the ages. Peace be with the family.
