DEATH-AND AFTERWARDS

REPRINTED FROM THE "FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW"
OF AUGUST 1885

“ Διὸς ἔμερος οὐκ εὐθήρατος ετύχθη.”

ÆSCH. Suppl.

"Unto this day it doth my hertë boote

That I have had my worlde, as in my time."

CHAUCER.

"Never the spirit was born, the spirit will cease to be never;
Never was time it was not; End and Beginning are dreams!
Birthless and deathless and changeless remaineth the spirit for ever;
Death hath not touched it at all, dead though the house of it seems !

"

The Song Celestial.
