tomorrow will be white then brown, fertile dirt, dark, full of worms and life the coffin with the body will mingle well mors ultima linea rerum est

"Acta est fabula, plaudite." That is all that we can say. "Remember, man, that thou art dust And to it, return you must." Nature gives and nature takes, From the dust, new life she makes And when it has had its chance, Its particles rejoin the dance.
"It's a privilege to die," Said and old and wise rabbi When his failing heart gave out, For he felt without a doubt Gratitude for what he'd had-- Lots of good and lots of bad-- Both were times to love and learn, And for that, the best return Was to give what might remain That it might be used again.
"Non, je ne regrette rien!" If a man can say that when Death draws that last "bottom line," Then his life has been just fine.
"Tak fra alle" we are told Was farewell for Hammarskjold. Hope your brother felt the same. Death was gentle when it came, Though he battled valiantly. Peace is his; yours may it be!

Nature gives and nature takes,
From the dust, new life she makes
And when it has had its chance,
Its particles rejoin the dance.
"It's a privilege to die,"
Said and old and wise rabbi
When his failing heart gave out,
For he felt without a doubt
Gratitude for what he'd had--
Lots of good and lots of bad--
Both were times to love and learn,
And for that, the best return
Was to give what might remain
That it might be used again.
"Non, je ne regrette rien!"
If a man can say that when
Death draws that last "bottom line,"
Then his life has been just fine.

Was farewell for Hammarskjold.
Hope your brother felt the same.
Death was gentle when it came,
Though he battled valiantly.
Peace is his; yours may it be!
