Quiet but not silenced

I see today in various places that Christopher Hitchens has lost his voice and has written a heart-rending piece about it in Vanity Fair; it's a nice essay and provides clear evidence to any reader that the author's brain remains unaffected by his illness, the last sentence is lapel grabbing,

"What do I hope for? If not a cure, then a remission. And what do I want back? In the most beautiful apposition of two of the simplest words in our language: the freedom of speech."

Cancer's a bitch..
