How do you find joy in death?

I feel the approach of death and I feel it with joy.

―Claude Louis Berthollet to his friend Jean Antoine Chaptal

Let those who surround the dead shed no tears―for they may see on the colourless lips and in the dim eyes a vague smile at the delights perceived by those who have just entered into a better world.
