6.
The memory of the dead seems intended to serve as a kind of ladder for the living, whereon they may ascend from things seen to things unseen.
As we grow older and more imbued with the spirit of this world, it seems ordained that thoughts of death and of the dead should grow proportion- ately stronger so as to imbue us with the spirit of another world. Infants and children, being unworldly, do not need, and do not have, this antidote against worldliness : for the disappearance of two or three... kindly care-worn countenances from the midst of a child's thoughtless gambols leaves no permanent impression upon the little one's mind. But as age brings us more and more within the danger of the infection of this world, death presses his keen antidote closer and closer to our lips.
It is indeed a bitter medicine, the ciip of deso- lation. Those whom we most respected and revered, those who were to our simple childhood as gods.
