And this is the Comfort of the Good,
that the Grave cannot hold them,
and that they live as soon as they die.
For Death is no more than a Turning of us over
from Time to Eternity.
...
Death then, being the Way and Condition of Life,
we cannot love to live,
if we cannot bear to die.
They that love beyond the World,
cannot be separated by it.
Death cannot kill, what never dies.
Nor can Spirits ever be divided
that love and live in the same Divine Principle;
the Root and Record of their Friendship.
...
This is the Comfort of Friends,
that though they may be said to Die,
yet their Friendship and Society are, in the best
ever present, because Immortal.

Some Fruits of Solitude by William Penn.
