Opis

It has been well said: "Death and death alone is what we must consult about life; and not some vague future or survival, in which we shall not be present. It is our own end; and everything happens in the interval between death and now. Do not talk to me of those imaginary prolongations which wield over us the childish spell of number; do not talk to me-to me who am to die outright-of societies and peoples There is no reality, there is no true duration, save that between the cradle and the grave. The rest is mere bombast, show, delusion They call me a master because of some magic in my speech and thoughts; but I am a frightened child in the presence of death "
