Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death. ~ Longfellow, from Resignation

Journeying over many seas and through many countries
I came dear brother to this pitiful leave-taking
the last gestures by your graveside
the futility of words over your quiet ashes.
Life cleft us from each other
pointlessly depriving brother of brother.
Accept then, in our parents' custom
these offerings, this leave-taking
echoing for everm through a brother's tears -- "Hail and Farewll"
~ Gaius Valerius Catullus.
(Catullus (ca. 84 BC – ca. 54 BC) was a Roman poet of the 1st century BC. This quote about the death of a brother is is just as heart felt and meaningful as it was when it was first written over two thousand years ago.)
