Several decades ago I read a short story (SF of course) which was written in the style of Robert SIlverberg, theme being Marco Polo's death and gradual dispersal of his mind/soul/memories through the cosmos as a final wave front travels past the sun the planets and finally into interstellar space. It was remarkably well written and I do suspect it was by Robert Silverberg but he has been so prolific I cannot find it under his authorship.

This doesn't strike a chord with me, but you might try rec.arts.sf.written if you get no luck here.

-- Living on the polemic may be temporarily satisfying, but it will raise your blood-pressure, and gives you tunnel vision.

Thanks, but I found it with help of Google. It was "Travels" by Carter Stolz.
