I saw also that there was an ocean of darkness and death, but an infinite ocean of light and love, which flowed over the ocean of darkness.

And starward drifts the stricken world,
Lone in unalterable gloom
Dead, with a universe for tomb,
Dark, and to vaster darkness whirled.
(“The Testimony of the Suns”)

Death is a dark flower, its perfume heady and dangerous as it pulls you into its bosom.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

Let me take you to a better place, full of death, rot and decay. My silver hair shall billow around you as I say: Have I shown enough love yet, my darling? My mind is not completely sane, but please get it into your brain that killing you is the ultimate declaration of my love.

When darkness falls and eyes stay shut
A chain of voices opens up.
Let wax not wane give breath to death.
