Book Description

Excerpt from The Conquest of Death In looking back I now see that a belief in death as a fixed and unalterable fact never had full possession of me. I doubt whether, in the true sense, it really has full possession of any one; for, while it seems real enough, so far as the dying of other people is concerned, we rarely think of it as being an inevitable reality for ourselves. It always seems a far off and shadowy possibility, but not an irresistible fate such as a man feels it to be who is under sentence of death for some crime.
