Death



I see a repose that neither earth nor hell can break, and I feel an assurance of the endless and shadowless hereafter- The Eternity they have entered - where life is boundless in its duration, and love in its sympathy, and joy in its fulness.
I noticed on that occasion how much selfishness there is even in a love like Mr. Linton's, when he so regretted Catherine's blessed release!
