“Then is it sin
To rush into the secret house of death
Ere death dare come to us?”

These new delighted lakes, conclude
Our kneeling as cattle by all-generous waters?”

“half-way up the hill, I see the Past
Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,—
A city in the twilight dim and vast,
With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights,—
And hear above me on the autumnal blast
The cataract of Death far thundering from the heights.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
