In the midnight and the snow!

On the reef of Norman’s Woe!”

And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity ... of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.”
—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
“Your father was ever virtuous, and holy men at their death have good inspirations.”
