Leonard Cohen’s last album: 'I'm ready to die’

On his last album, You Want It Darker, Leonard Cohen, who has died at age 82, appeared at peace with his own mortality. "Hineni, hineni / I'm ready, my Lord," Cohen intoned on the title track, employing Hebrew to say "Here I Am."

Cohen wandered the world reaching into his own melancholy and emerged as a sublime, spiritual voice for his generation.

Born into a prosperous Jewish family that had founded synagogues in Canada, Cohen would be hailed as one of the all-time literary greats in his native country but spent his adult life constantly on the move both geographically and spiritually.
