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.

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."
