There is no suitable replacement
No qualified substitute
No reasonable facsimile
No new torch bearer
What was, will never be again
The body of work, however, remains
It breathes
It lives
In every era
It needs no embellishment
No rearranging
No updating
No tweaking
It has already been perfected
It is the blueprint that is studied
It has no rival
It seeks no competitor
Everything else is a mere copy
Everyone else is a mere student
Curator
Admirer
The teacher is gone
There are no shoes to fill
Only footsteps to follow
The lessons are here to study
To cherish
To share
Nothing is kept alive by dissecting it
Changing it
Diluting it
Excellence need not be tampered with
Just appreciated
