If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practise, as it were, the remembrance of death.

Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. Coming Next: THURS: A Writer's Wit | Havelock Ellis FRI: My Book World | George Saunders's A Swim in a Pond in the Rain |
