1981. DEATH, Prepared for.—

Mine is
the next turn, and I shall meet it with good
will; for after one's friends are all gone before
him, and our faculties leaving us, too,
one by one, why wish to linger in mere vegetation,
as a solitary trunk in a desolate field,
from which all its former companions have
disappeared.—
To Mrs. Cosway. D. L. J., 374.
(M. 1820)
