● "The outpouring of grief, wonder and shared devastation
that followed X's death had the same breadth and intensity
as the reaction to the killing of a world figure: some bold
and popular politician, like John or Robert Kennedy, or a
spiritual leader, like Martin Luther King Jr. But X was a
creature of poetic political metaphor, and his spiritual
consciousness was directed inward, as a way of nurturing
and widening his creative force. That was what made the
impact, and the difference — the shock of his imagination,
the penetrating and pervasive traces of his genius — and it
was the loss of all that, in so abrupt and awful a way, that
was mourned last week, all over the world."
- Jay Cocks, TIME, 22 December 1980
