Death, Thou Shalt Die


(Remaining Snow by Kuroda Seiki, 1892)
“Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so ...
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.”
~John Donne (partial re-post)

“Let no one grieve at his poverty,
for the universal kingdom has been revealed.
Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again;
for forgiveness has risen from the grave.
Let no one fear death, for the Death of our Savior has set us free.
He has destroyed it by enduring it.”
~St. John Chrysostom
