• The reconciliation is not based on the fact that one of the characters opens his eyes and says, "O brother! O sister! How terrible I was! How right and wonderful you were! Please forgive me!

Whenever death comes he hugs death, he embraces death, he welcomes death, he receives death as a guest. To the man who has not known what life is, death is an enemy; and to the man who knows what life is, death is the ultimate crescendo of life.

  Rajneesh

• No clouds are in the morning sky,
  The vapors hug the stream,
  Who says that life and love can die
  In all this northern gleam?
  At every turn the maples burn,
  The quail is whistling free,
  The partridge whirs, and the frosted burs
  Are dropping for you and me.
  Ho! hillyho! heigh O!
  Hillyho!
  In the clear October morning.

  Edmund Clarence Stedman
