Well since I quoted the first line I might as well throw in the last:

"And we, who think of ascending

joy, would feel the emotion,

that almost dismays us,

when a joyful thing falls."

What's the latest news on Fosset jehpree? I haven't heard that any wreckage has been found. Are they still searching?

Court Asked to Declare Fossett Dead

Such is life...

Adventurer Fossett declared dead

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7248161.stm

excerpt:

Millionaire businessman and adventurer Steve Fossett has been declared legally dead by a court in Chicago.

Mr Fossett has been missing for five months since his single-engine plane disappeared over the Nevada desert.

His wife had filed a court petition to have him declared dead so the process of executing his will could begin.

The judge said the evidence Mr Fossett was dead was "more than sufficient". He described the 63-year-old's fortune as "vast", and an eight-figure sum.

There has been no trace of Mr Fossett since he took off from Yerington, Nevada, on 3 September 2007.

The flight had been expected to last about three hours and Mr Fossett was not required to, and did not, file a flight plan.
