Parah dead, at 32, in battle

Parer dead, at 32, in battle. Fournier, at 27, on the Meuse. Lekeu ate an ice, and died of fever. And Reubke, both musicians, both at 24. And Keats, and all the other classic cases. “Whom the gods love.”; such a hackneyed phrase. Yet, strangely, in the midst of death and sorrow I can see love, and I can kneel and pray.
