About: Death
"Go thou, deceased, to this earth which is a mother, and spacious
and kind. May her touch be soft like that of wool, or a young
woman, and may she protect thee from the depths of destruction.
Rise above him, O Earth, do not press painfully on him, give him
good things, give him consolation, as a mother covers her child
with her cloth, cover thou him."

Illumed the eastern skies,
She passed through glory's morning gate,
And walked in Paradise."

About: Death
"Somewhere, in desolate, wind-swept space,
In twilight land, in no man's land,
Two hurrying shapes met face to face
And bade each other stand.
"And who are you?" cried one, a-gape,
Shuddering in the glimmering light.
"I know not," said the second shape,
"I only died last night."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: Death
"The white sail of his soul has rounded
The promontory–death."
Author: William Alexander, Earl of Stirling
About: Death
"Your lost friends are not dead, but gone before,
Advanced a stage or two upon that road
Which you must travel in the steps they trod."
Author: Aristophanes
About: Death
"He who died at Azan sends
This to comfort all this friends:
Faithful friends! It lies I know
Pale and white and cold as snow;
And ye say, "Abdallah's dead!"
Weeping at the feet and head.
I can see your falling tears,
I can hear your sighs and prayers;
Yet I smile and whisper this:
I am not the thing you kiss.
Cease your tears and let it lie;
It was mine–it is not I."
