An agnostic, he has been cut down in the fullness of life by cancer, and young Arthur learns his first sobering lesson-"How dies the wise man ... as the fool." With life's occasional flair for overemphasis, the lesson is repeated when Arthur's first wife, Hope, dies from the aftereffects of childbirth.
