A beautiful man ,not afraid to be honest about his imperfections - and thats how he has ended up a most loved , humble compassionate , deep and sensitive soul ,full of the wisdom we would do well to pay close attention to. Bless you Leonard Cohen for being your true and honest self. Your words and music and the gifts you gave to all the World will live forever.

I went to Hydra in 1970 to seek out Leonard Cohen. He was not present when I arrived. However, in my attempt to find him there, I found myself intruding upon a group of writers who knew him personally. I was told that my presence was welcomed by the various individuals. Among the dozen or so people who were assembled around the table, there was one gentleman who had written a slim paperback volume entitled “A Crown of Flowers” which had been received quite favorably. I don’t recall his name at the moment but followed his career. He ultimately became well known for his tomes on economics. I will always remember him. He was so sweet and kind to me, a naive 19 year old. I next encountered his name when he passed away not many years ago. He could have eliminated me from the gathering, but he didn’t. Afterward, my memory afforded me the opportunity to relive those halcyon days on Hydra. I was surprised that this group of writers were Leonard Cohen’s friends. Had Mr. Cohen been present among these fascinating individuals, I sincerely believe that he too would have been as welcoming to my presence as these unnamed individuals were. That night beside the harbor will always remain one of the ‘shining lights’ of my life.

I visited Hydra in summer 1973. Some people invited me to the house. Marianne was there, and her son Axel. Marianne poured a glass of wine for everyone. I sat on the terrace with Axel, watching the sunset over the water. He played some nice classical guitar. Marianne invited us to have dinner at the taverna on the quay. Later I sat by the water with Marianne and an American girl who was staying with them. These girls would turn up from time to time, with a crush on Leonard. They would let them stay till they got over it. I played some of the songs on my guitar, and Marianne sang with me. After Bird on the Wire she said, 'That's my favourite song - I wrote the middle verse.'

There were a lot of groupies Marianne had to tolerate. Cohen was a sex addict and a depressive. He hurt her. Everyone looks back on their big loves from their 20s. I hope history doesn't blow the love affair and friendship out of proportion.

Great memories of my youth, discovering Cohen in the 70s. After the fall of communism I finally saw him in concert in Bucharest. I learned English and poetry from his songs. We always finished our parties with Cohen in the wee morning hours, in our youth, with my friends, some of whom are now gone…❤

I believe Marianne was Leonard's muse, but much more than his muse; Marianne was Leonard's perhaps first, long and lasting love. They had a love affair that extended to their deaths, extended to their reunion in the stars that make up our Universe, and together i believe they occasionally look back toward us on planet Earth. I have read Leonard's biography and I am just reading Marianne's biography and I fail to comprehend why they did not remain together or reconnect, other than the stress of the entertainment business. Not unlike them, I divorced my wife of 27 years but have continued to love her through her continued presence on this planet, see her regularly and ask myself why? (I've not asked her but know the same question exists for her.) Like these two main characters, my wife and I will never remarry, but we will remain life-long friends and perhaps, even live under one roof again, at some point in the future. Age answers many questions that we did not know existed when we were younger.

Whatever happened to her son? The one that was only,what,6 or 7 months old when they met? Why isn't he mentioned when he talks about first meeting her? "Oh,and they also had a son together who was just a baby when she fell into my arms." She more or less abandoned him the minute she hit the island. He ended up institutionalized beginning at the age of 19. Hasn't left since. He lived briefly right before that. He raised himself. Sorry,can't see a beautiful soul in a woman who is so selfish and self centered that she can't raise her own child. Shallow. Sad.
