Half our days we pass in the shadow of the earth; and the brother of death exacteth a third part of our lives.

Thomas Browne

Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living: All things fall under this name. The Sun itself is but the dark simulacrum, and the light but the shadow of God.

Thomas Browne

The created World is but a small Parenthesis in Eternity.
