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.”

As in a season of autumn.
The soldier falls.”

No other speaker of my living actions
To keep mine honor from corruption,
But such an honest chronicler as Griffith.”
