Sinossi
Excerpt from The Last Act: Being the Funeral Rites of Nations and Individuals
I may be excused for reminding the reader lines of Longfellow: I like that ancient Saxon phrase, which calls The burial ground god's-acre! It is just; It consecrates each grave within its walls, And breathes a benison o'er the sleeping dust.
God's-acre! Yes, that blessed name imparts Comfort to those who in the grave have sown The seed, that they have garnered in their hearts, Their bread of life - alas! No more their own.
Into its furrows shall we all be cast, In the sure faith that we shall rise again At the great harvest, when the archangel's blast Shall winnow, like a fan, the chaff and grain.
