May he RIP. He was indeed one of the great ones in Science Fiction.

Arthur C. Clarke: 90th Birthday Reflections - December 2007

If I have given you delight
By aught that I have done,
Let me lie quiet in that night
Which shall be yours anon:

And for the little, little, span
The dead are born in mind,
Seek not to question other than
The books I leave behind.
