Diana Princess of Wales: A Modern Icon in Society of Today


             While those around you crawled.
             They crawled out of the woodwork.
             And they whispered into your brain.
             They set you on the treadmill.
             And they made you change your name.
             And it seems to me you lived your life.
             Like a candle in the wind.
             Never knowing who to cling to.
             When the rain set in.
             And I would have liked to have known you.
             But I was just a kid.
             Your candle burned out long before.
             Your legend ever did.
             Loneliness was tough.
             The toughest role you ever played.
             Hollywood created a superstar.
             And pain was the price you paid.
             Even when you died.
             Oh the press still hounded you.
             All the papers had to say.
             Was that Marilyn was found in the nude.
             Goodbye Norma Jean.
             From the young man in the 22nd row.
             Who sees you as something as more than sexual.
             More than just our Marilyn Monroe.
             [Appendix 2].
             The Earl Spencer, "The Eulogy for Diana, Princess of Wales".
             "I stand before you today the representative of a family in grief, in a country in mourning before a world in shock. .
             "We are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to Diana but rather in our need to do so. For such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met her, feel that they too lost someone close to them in the early hours of Sunday morning. It is a more remarkable tribute to Diana than I can ever hope to offer her today. .
             .
             "Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity. All over the world, a standard bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a very British girl who transcended nationality. Someone with natural nobility who was classless and who proved in the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic. .
             "Today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life.
