Text :

It seems as if no man had ever died in America before; for in order to die you must first have lived. I don't believe in the hearses, and palls and funerals that they have had. There was no death in the case, because there had been no life; they merely rotted or sloughed off, pretty much as they had rotted or sloughed along. No temple's vail was rent, only a hole dug somewhere. Let the dead bury their dead. The best of them fairly ran down like a clock.
