“We are born with two incurable diseases, life, from which we die, and hope, which says maybe death isn't the end.”

Andrew M. Greeley (1928–2013) Irish-American Roman Catholic priest, sociologist, journalist and novelist

“Death is the end of life; ah, why
Should life all labour be?”

Alfred, Lord Tennyson The Lotos-Eaters

Choric Song, st. 4
The Lotos-Eaters (1832)
Context: Death is the end of life; ah, why
Should life all labour be?
Let us alone. Time driveth onward fast,
And in a little while our lips are dumb.
Let us alone. What is it that will last?
All things are taken from us, and become
Portions and parcels of the dreadful past.
Let us alone. What pleasure can we have
To war with evil? Is there any peace
In ever climbing up the climbing wave?
All things have rest, and ripen toward the grave
In silence; ripen, fall and cease:
Give us long rest or death, dark death, or dreamful ease.
