Richard Hovey (1864 - 1900) _________________________ WHEN we are dead I firmly do believe we shall slip back into the primal sea of the universal life, that there shall be no such false joys as on this earth deceive--nay, nor no truer ones--nor cause to grieve nor terror nor despite nor mockery nor love, life's strongest bitterest mystery and while we still are struggling in the strife surely it is a gracious boon though small that one brief sweet real joy at least there is, to be about to die and know that all the anguish and the agony of life will not last longer than a lover's kiss. ~Richard Hovey

Richard Hovey (1864-1900) was an American composer, poet and playwright. Graduating from Dartmouth College in 1885, he is known in part for penning the school Alma Mater, Men of Dartmouth. The Hovey Murals (photographic copies by the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth) -- a controvertibly "racist" series of paintings that adorn the walls of Hovey's Pub (in the basement of Thayer Hall) but that are currently shielded from public view (except by scheduled appointment) -- are named in his honor.
