On the Impossibility of Being Dead
"Where Death is, we are not; where we are, Death is not; therefore, Death is nothing to us."
- Epicurus
...The total emptiness for ever,
The sure extinction that we travel to
And shall be lost in always. Not to be
here,
Not to be anywhere,
And soon; nothing more terrible, nothing
more true.
- Philip Larkin, from "Aubade" (1977)
