    —Bible: Hebrew, 2 Kings 4:40.

    “The ancients adorned their sarcophagi with the emblems of life and procreation, and even with obscene symbols; in the religions of antiquity the sacred and the obscene often lay very close together. These men knew how to pay homage to death. For death is worthy of homage as the cradle of life, as the womb of palingenesis.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “For God was as large as a sunlamp and laughed his heat at us and therefore we did not cringe at the death hole.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
