Poetic Justice: Louis Brandeis’s Epitaph

چکیده
Louis said from the grave, If I am Remembered, don't make me a sham Of a nice Jewish boy, Or the life of a goy (Not to shul [1], Christmas tree [2], and ate ham [3]). False biography would be a flaw-Don't recount what would stick in my craw And thus bring me to grief. For my spiritual brief Was Democracy. Ideas. The law. (It is clear to me that there's a God. Justice comes from Him. But it's not odd That divine dialogue You find in synagogue Or in church, not in a college quad.) Apropos of particularistic Concerns, I'm hardly a statistic Of a Jewish lifestyle. [4] But I claim, all the while, That my choices were characteristic Of decency, justice, diversity Befitting of a University-Progressive principle, Paired with invincible Legal redress from adversity. It's true I did advocate Zion; Denial would surely be lyin'. Chaim Weizmann and I Didn't see eye to eye, And it wasn't for my lack of tryin'.
