the Real never ceases to be

Orage´s gravestone

You grieve for those who should not be grieved for.

The wise grieve neither for the living nor the dead.

Never at any time was I not, nor thou,
nor these princes of men.

Nor shall we cease to be hereafter.

The unreal has no being.

The real never ceases to be.
