“For, surely, surely, where
Your voice and graces are,
Nothing of death can any feel or know.”

“And so, standing before the aforesaid officiator, the two swore that at every other time of their lives till death took them, they would assuredly believe, feel, and desire precisely as they had believed, felt, and desired during the few preceding weeks.
