LIFE, NOT DEATH
Reading edition
Sometimes life is so unsatisfying that we think we should like to be rid of it. But we really are not longing for death; we are longing for more life.
Whatever crazy sorrow saith, No life that breathes with human breath Has ever truly longed for death.
'Tis life, whereof our nerves are scant, Oh life, not death, for which we pant; More life, and fuller, that I want.
Alfred Tennyson.
