essential part of our being can only survive if the
transient part dissolves. Death is a condition of
survival. That which has been gained must be
eternalized, and can only be eternalized by being
transmuted, by passing through death they must
return

Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the
light in which great passions, both good and bad,
become transparent, no longer limited by outward
appearances.
