"when the commonplace `we must all die` transforms itself suddenly into the acute consciousness "I must die-and soon", then death grapples us, and his fingers are cruel; afterwards, he may come to fold us in his arms as our mother did, and our last moment of dim earthly discerning may be like the first."
