"The bed is too small for thee! I am indeed joyful in spirit, but after
the flesh I am very sad, this parting is so beyond measure trying.
Wonderful it is that I should know she is certainly at peace, and that
all is well with her, and yet should be so sad."
And when the people who came to lay out the corpse, according to custom,
spoke to the doctor, and said they were sorry for his affliction, he
said,--
"You should rejoice. I have sent a saint to heaven; yes, a living saint!
May we have such a death! Such a death I would gladly die this very
hour."
Then said one, "That is true indeed; yet every one would wish to keep
his own."
