E.F. Benson Quotes
The Body Is Transmuted Into Other Forms, Worms Batten On It, It Helps To Feed The Grass, And Some Animal Consumes The Grass. But As For The Survival Of The Individual Spirit Of A Man, Show Me One Tittle Of Scientific Evidence To Support It. Besides, If It Did Survive, All The Evil And Malice In It Must Surely Survive Too. Why Should The Death Of The Body Purge That Away? It's A Nightmare To Contemplate Such A Thing, And Oddly Enough, Unhinged People Like Spiritualists Want To Persuade Us For Our Consolation That The Nightmare Is True.
