AIR AND LIFE. 201 



substance of past living organisms will rest and return to earth ; mortal 

 cold and darkness will reign; the curtain will drop upon the tragedy 

 of life, and that which remains will be a frozen and gigantic tomb, 

 rolling silent and desolate through the unfathomable depths of the 

 darkened heavens. 



I will encounter darkness as a bride 

 And bug it in my arms. 



(Measure for Measure. )
