Excerpt from Thoughts on Love and Death: A Series of Short Meditations
A few words of explanation appear to be necessary as to the origin of these "Thoughts."
There comes a time in the lives of most of us when the questions with which these meditations are concerned thrust themselves upon our consideration. They become, for a time at any rate, the all-absorbing subject of our thoughts. We cannot, even if we would, escape them. The mind reverts to them at every unoccupied moment, and employs itself persistently upon the same subject.
There is no doubt that, at such times as these, we do well to let our mental inclinations have their way; and so far from endeavouring to suppress such thoughts, we do well to encourage them, striving to learn as best we can whatever lesson Providence may desire to teach.
