Donaldson quote coming on-- a poem about death from his first novel of <i>The First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever:</i><br /><br /><i>Death reaps the beauty of the world-<br />bundles old crops to hasten new.<br />Be still, heart:<br />hold peace.<br />Growing is better than decay:<br />I hear the blade which severs life from life.<br />Be still, peace:<br />hold heart.<br />Death is passing on-<br />the making way of life and time for life.<br />Hate dying and killing, not death.<br />Be still, heart:<br />make no expostulation.<br />Hold peace and grief<br />and be still.</i><br /><br />RIP, Gracie.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.com
