1 Corinthians 15:26: "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death..." Verse 54-55: "So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"

 

[anagram]

First, he cast a fearful glance from afar towards death and turned away in fright; then he avoided it; trembling and going around it in wide circles which, however, became smaller and smaller everyday until, at last, he clasped death's neck with his weary arms and looked directly into its eyes: and then there was peace, sweet peace."
- Philipp Mainlander

[ShatteredSerenity]

Dying
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you could say I have a call.

― Sylvia Plath, from Lady Lazarus
