This week I watched the movie Four Weddings And A Funeral, and was touched by the part where Matthew quotes a poem at Garrett’s (?) funeral. Does anyone out there know what the poem is called, or who it’s author is? I only remember two of the lines…one is “quiet the dog with a juicy bone”…and two, “he was my North, my South, my East and my West.” Thanks, Dopers!`
