The jaws of darkness do devour it up; So quick bright things come to confusion.

Yet this is part of the purging to become acquainted with God.

Friedrich SchillerNo intellect is needed to see those figures who wait beyond the void of death - every child is aware of them, blazing with glories dark or bright, wrapped in authority older than the universe. They are the stuff of our earliest dreams, as of our dying visions. Rightly we feel our lives guided by them, and rightly too we feel how little we matter to them, the builders of the unimaginable, the fighters of wars beyond the totality of existence.

No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
