QUOTE of the DAY
================================================================
On a day of burial there is no perspective--for space itself is
annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being.
The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands
false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning.
The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence
is 'round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he
was--to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you.
Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and
whom you cannot detain.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery
