Why do we then shun Death with anxious strife? If Light can thus deceive, wherefore not Life?
Página 64 - Laved in the flood of thy bliss O death. From me to thee glad serenades, Dances for thee I propose saluting thee, adornments and f eastings for thee, And the sights of the open landscape and the high-spread sky are fitting, And life and the fields, and the huge and thoughtful night.
