O fool, what else is sleep but chill death's likeness?
The gods and their tranquil abodes appear, which no winds disturb, nor clouds bedew with showers, nor does the white snow, hardened by frost, annoy them; the heaven, always pure, is without clouds, and smiles with pleasant light diffused.
I want to sleep for eternity with a broad smile on my face. I want those who remain behind to say this man has done his duty.
Peace is eternal. It is never too late to have peace. Time is always ripe for that. We can make our life truly fruitful if we are not cut off from our Source, which is the peace of Eternity.
In heaven it is always autumn.
There is nothing frightening about an eternal dreamless sleep. Surely it is better than eternal torment in Hell and eternal boredom in Heaven.
If I could have two things in one: the peace of the grave, and the light of the sun.
Ne'er to meet, or ne'er to part, is peace.
