I have been dying for twenty years, now I am going to live.

Behind, he hears Time's iron gates close faintly, He is now far from them; For he has reached the city of the saintly, The New Jerusalem.

On the cold cheek of Death smiles and roses are blending, And beauty immortal awakes from the tomb.

If you're afraid to die, you will not be able to live.

If God hath made this world so fair, Where sin and death abound, How beautiful beyond compare Will paradise be found!.

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death,if he can live after he's died, then maybe he was a great man. Immortality is the only true success.
