Death
Gillette died in Los Angeles, California, and was interred in the lower levels of the Begonia Corridor in the Great Mausoleum located at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California. He was almost bankrupt at the time of his death, due both to his having spent large amounts of money on property, and to his having lost much of the value of his corporate shares as a result of the Great Depression.

as to know it as it is known
by galaxy and cedar cone,
as if birth had never found it
and death could never end it:”

“Surrealism is merely the reflection of the death process. It is one of the manifestations of a life becoming extinct, a virus which quickens the inevitable end.”

“Sin their conception, their birth weeping,
Their life a general mist of error,
Their death a hideous storm of terror.”
