More Music in Cemeteries V. . .

~~ Most especially for Russel, this page is in loving dedication ~~
~~  but also to Tequila and Yagr  ~~
~~  and to Cognac, still much missed by her Mom  ~~

If humans lives be, for their very brevity, sweet, then beast lives are sweeter still... -Isobelle Carmody, from the dedication page in her book Night Gate

She got what anybody gets;

I can't help thinking

she deserved a little more

--Mike Carey (for his Pauline), dedication from "The Furies"

Yesterday at the cemetery, I did not succeed in understanding

           the words 'Pierre Curie' engraved on the stone.

                            --Marie Curie, 1906

Death is not the greatest loss in life.  The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.  -- Norman Cousins

Death to the animal is but a sleep, and the only thought in his head when he lies down for the last time is Nature's whisper that he will waken as usual when the right time comes.  Now Nature deceives nobody, nor does she tolerate any deception.  It would be most irrational, even for a rabbit, to suppose that Nature has told him truth every hour of his long life, only to whisper a falsehood at the last moment.

--final lines from the book Brier-Patch Philosophy by Peter Rabbit, interpreted by William J. Long 

Still sweetly missed...

This dewdrop universe

just a dewdrop

and yet,

 and yet...

               --Issa
