James Earl Jones dead at 93

The Simpsons

Narrator (J.E.J.) : Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer...

Homer : Sir...

Narrator : ...said I...

Homer : ...or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; / But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, / And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, / That I scarce was sure I heard you.

Narrator : Here I opened wide the door.

Bart : This better be good.

Narrator : Darkness there and nothing more.

Homer : Huh?

Bart : You know what would've been scarier than nothing?

Lisa Simpson : What?

Bart : Anything!

***

Serak the Preparer (J.E.J.): Here you go, earthlings. Take all you want but...eat all you take.

Marge Simpson : Oh, thank you very much, Mister...

Serak the Preparer : To pronounce it correctly, I would have to pull out your tongue.
 
We’ve been revering respected patriarch characters he played with that deep resonant voice and was sad even at the loss of those characters in movies because of what he brought to them. We’ve been losing him through the death of the larger than life characters he embodied: Darth, Mufasa, and Admiral Greer. It feels surreal to lose him but what a long rich life!
