"There were some who said that a man at the point of death was more free than all others, because death breaks every bond, and over the dead the united world has no power."

I am not in the least surprised that your impression of death becomes more lively, in proportion as age and infirmity bring it nearer. God makes use of this rough trial to undeceive us in respect to our courage, to make us feel our weakness, and to keep us in all humility in His hands.
