With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free;”

“Fie, tis a fault to heaven,
A fault against the dead, a fault to nature,
To reason most absurd, whose common theme
Is death of fathers, and who still hath cried,
From the first corse till he that died today,
This must be so.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
