“Every parting gives a foretaste of death, every reunion a hint of the resurrection.”
“Death and resurrection are what the story is about and had we but eyes to see it, this has been hinted on every page, met us, in some disguise, at every turn, and even been muttered in conversations between such minor characters (if they are minor characters) as the vegetables.”
“Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life.”
“In every parting there is an image of death.”
“Let not death, nor the graveyard overcome you with fear, for every seed buried in its cold ground, resurrects forth anew, into a blossomed life.”
“S then, every family reunion is bolstered by food, lots and lots of it.”
