ABSTRACT

No, it shall not be. You cannot die … Such things cannot be … If so, then everything is a snare, the earth, the sky, the infant’s cradle, the mother’s bosom, the human heart, love and the stars! God would be a traitor, and man a dupe! And nothing would be left! Creation would be insulted! And all would be a yawning abyss! [2, pp. 252–253]
