O immortality, your children, too,
alas, are mortal; even so is their
mortality a child of yours!...O you
master playwright, you conquered the despair
of life; so might you conquer the malaise
of death. But oh, to think that you no longer
teach us, no longer write, on longer raise
your voice of wisdom–wisdom that was stronger
than all the world’s philosophies–this breaks
our hearts. And yet, your deathless spirit makes
us trust that there where you lie buried, or
there where you dwell in starry heavens, you may
still reign o’er human thought and shine like star
and sun and moon in an eternal way!
