Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life, the Preparation for Death: A Sermon, Preached at Great St. Mary´s, Cambridge, on the First Friday in Lent, 1867 "It is appointed unto all men once to die, but after this the judgment." Why is there such awe in that brief word "death?" Why, if we could see along this church a long solemn funeral procession, in which those narrow dwelling-places wherein our bodies shall one day resolve into their dust, should pass before us, each, as they shall one day be, as in God´s sight they are, inscribed with our several names, the number of our fleeting years, the year, month, day, which closed them; why should we look each with an awed gaze upon our own? Whence is that cold pang which brave men have felt on the battle eye? Or why do crowds fly, like scared sheep, before a pestilence? Is it only the heathen thought, that "linquenda tellus et domus et placens uxor?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
