No one keeps death in view, no one refrains from far-reaching hopes; some men, indeed, even arrange for things that lie beyond life\u2014huge masses of tombs and dedications of public works and gifts for their funeral-pyres and ostentatious funerals. But, in very truth, the funerals of such men ought to be conducted by the light of torches and wax tapers, as though they had lived but the tiniest span.<\/p>\n
