"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
