    John Wayne Sharp

    Death is Nothing at All
    Life means all that it ever meant.
    It is the same as it ever was.
    There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
    What is this death but a negligible accident?
    Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
    I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
    somewhere very near, just round the corner.
      Henry Scott Holland
