Highgate Cemetery London |
It does speak rather eloquently of the two approaches to the topic. One sees it is a true negative, the other sees the bright-light.
"First Voice: How frightful the grave! how deserted and drear!
With the howls of the storm-wind -- the creaks of the bier,
And the white bones all clattering together!
"Second Voice: How peaceful the grave! its quite how deep;
Its zephyres breathe calmly, and soft is its sleep,
And flowerets perfume it with ether.
