Will crash the beams of firmamental woe:

Of death, though death sustains all nature, so.”

I felt her death much more than I should have expected; she was a sustaining symbol—and the wild waters are upon us now.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“I want Death to find me planting my cabbages, neither worrying about it nor the unfinished gardening.”
