The world is the mirror of myself dying

"But I will be,
A bridegroom in my death, and run into't
As to a lover's bed." -William Shakespeare
"The world is the mirror of myself dying." - Henry Miller
"And I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful than death." - Walt Whitman
"And what the dead had no speech for, when living,
They can tell you, being dead: the communication
Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living." T.S. Eliot
"It costs me never a stab nor squirm
To tread by chance upon a worm.
'Aha, my little dear,' I say,
'Your clan will pay me back one day.'" Dorothy Parker
