Death is the side of life that is turned away from us and not illuminated. … The true form of life extends through both regions, the blood of the mightiest circulation pulses through both: there is neither a this-world nor an other-world, but only the great unity, in which the ‘angels,’ those beings who surpass us, are at home.
Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to Witold Hulewicz dated 13 November 1925, in Duino Elegies
