Content: I did not die." 'The Letter'
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, American editor, 1836-1907 7 ﻿﻿
"I held his letter in my hand,
And even while I read
The lightning flashed across the land
The word that he was dead. How strange it seemed! His living voice
Was speaking from the page
Those courteous phrases, tersely choice,
Light-hearted, witty, sage. I wondered what it was that died! The man himself was here,
His modesty, his scholar's pride,
His soul serene and clear. These neither death nor time shall dim,
Still, this sad thing must be —
Henceforth I may not speak to him,
Though he can speak to me!" 'Death Is Nothing at All'
Harry Scott-Holland, British educator, 1847-1918 8 ﻿﻿
"Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room.
