Rest in Peace, Maestro...
May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

MODENA, Italy (Reuters) - Thousands of mourners filed past the open coffin of Luciano Pavarotti in the cathedral of his Italian hometown on Friday, in an emotional farewell to the singer whose death prompted tributes from around the world....The imposing, bearded opera star, who died on Thursday of cancer at the age of 71, was dressed in a black tuxedo, hands folded on his stomach and holding a white handkerchief -- a favorite prop during his recitals -- and a rosary...."The world at your feet," read the headline in a local paper in Modena, the town where Pavarotti was born into a humble family -- his father a baker, his mother a cigar factory worker -- and which he never forgot despite his stardom."

is thy spelled with an e or is that a typo? it took me way too long to figure that it didn't say they, as in them... or maybe it's supposed to be that after all! either way, i need to stop watching reality tv, it's dumbing me down.
