"Und manchmal, während wir so schmerzhaft reifen, dass wir beinahe daran sterben, erhebt sich aus allem, was wir nicht begreifen, ein Gesicht und sieht uns strahlend an" Rainer Maria Rilke

What is dying
A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says: "She is gone." Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all; she is just as large as when I saw her...
The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her, and just at the moment when someone at my side says"she is gone", there are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout, "there she comes!" ....and that is dying.
