Is there beyond the silent nightAn endless day?Is death a door that leads to light?We cannot say.
— "The Devil" (1899) Section IX, "Conclusion: Declaration of the Free" Compare: "the door of Darkness", The Rubaiyat, stanza 64.
It is not growing like a treeIn bulk, doth make man better be;Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:A lily of a dayIs fairer far in May,Although it falls and die that night—It was the plant and flower of Light.
Ben Jonson— Ben Jonson, Pindaric Ode on the Death of Sir H. Morison
