What then need we think for further?
One can never see beyond the consummation.

It is enough that death is a great and conclusive experience.

Why should we ask what comes after the experience, when the experience is still unknown to us?
Let us die, since the great experience is the one that follows now upon all the rest, death, which is the next great crisis in front of which we have arrived.

If we wait, if we baulk the issue, we do but hang about the gates in undignified uneasiness.

There it is, in front of us, as in front of Sappho, the illimitable space.
