Thomas Lynch Quotes
There Are Those, Too, Who Are Ethnically Predisposed In Favor Of Funerals, Who Recognize Among The Black Drapes And Dirges An Emotionally Potent And Spiritually Stimulating Intersection Of The Living And The Dead. In Death And Its Rituals, They See The Leveled Playing Field So Elusive In Life. Whether We Bury Our Dead In Wilbert Vaults, Leave Them In Trees To Be Eaten By Birds, Burn Them Or Beam Them Into Space; Whether Choir Or Cantor, Piper Or Jazz Band, Casket Or Coffin Or Winding Sheet, Ours Is The Species That Keeps Track Of Our Dead And Knows That We Are Always Outnumbered By Them.
