Soon we shall die and all the memory of
those five will have left earth, and we ourselves shall be loved for a while
and forgotten. But the love will have been enough; all those impulses of love
return to the love that made. Even
memory is not necessary for love. There is a land of the living and a land of
the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.
--Thornton Wilder,
final lines of The Bridge of San Luis Rey
During the month of November, we remember all souls...
