Death Is Nothing At All

By Henry Scott-Holland More Henry Scott-Holland

Death is nothing at all.

It does not count.

I have only slipped away into the next room.

Nothing has happened.

Everything remains exactly as it was.

I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.

Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by the old familiar name.

Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.

Put no difference into your tone.

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.

Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.

Life means all that it ever meant.

It is the same as it ever was.

There is absolute and unbroken continuity.

What is this death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.

All is well.

Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.

One brief moment and all will be as it was before.

How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

We miss you Cowboy!

The advantages of using barn doors in your space Sliding barn doors have become a versatile and stylish addition to modern interior design. Beyond their rustic charm, these doors offer many advantages that can en­ hance your living space’s visual appeal and functionality.

feature makes them ideal for rooms with limited space or awkward layouts, maximizing usable floor area.

• They look stylish. Their distinctive design and rustic allure are focal points, infusing character and warmth into contemporary interiors. Whether used as room di­ viders, closet doors or even as decorative accents, barn doors effortlessly elevate the ambiance of any space.

• They’re easy to use. The smooth gliding mechanisms create seamless transitions between rooms. This versa­ tility allows homeowners to customize their living spaces while enjoying the convenience of flexible room configurations.
