The Velvet poet has died, perhaps fittingly in this time of the year when believers celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace. Vaclav Havel was a revolutionary man of Peace, a man with the courage to take on the oppression of Communism and fight this battle armed only with his pen and with his words. He brought forth a new birth of freedom and liberty to the land of my ancestors and enhanced the dignity of all Humanity.
God rest you, merry gentleman!
