From "Sundown Papers" [The Last Harvest]
"This I know, too; that the grave is not dark or cold
to the dead but only to the living. The light of the eye,
the warmth of the body, still exist undiminished in the
universe, but in other relations, under other forms.
Shall the flower complain because it fades and falls?...
You and I perish, but something goes out, or may go out,
from us that will help forward a higher type of mankind.
To what end? Who knows? We cannot cross-question the
Infinite."
