Part 2 (1/2)
”And at the worst?”
”Freedom: escape from narroalls--often dark and foul”
”In any case nothing but a change, a swift and absolute change, from as to what is?”
”Even so”
”And you have no fear?”
”None Why should I?”
”Why should you not?”
Again there was a sudden silence between the two At last the Soul spoke:
”Why should I not? I cannot tell you But I have no fear I am a Son of God”
”And we?”
”Ah, yes, dear brother: you, too, and the Body”
”But we perish!+”
”There is the resurrection of the Body”
”Where--when?”
”As it is written In God's hour”
”Is the worm also the Son of God?”
The soul stared doard into the green water, but did not answer A look of strange trouble was in his eyes
”Is not the Grave on the hither side of Eternity?”
Still no answer
”Does God whisper beneath the Tomb?”
At this the Soul rose, and moved restlessly to and fro
”Tell me,” resumed the Will, ”what is Dissolution?”
”It is the returning into dust of that which was dust”
