Again, how can death be evil, sith it is the thaw of these vanities which the frost of life bindeth together? If there be a satiety in life, then must there not be a sweetness in death? Man were an intolerable thing, were he not mortal; the earth were not ample enough to contain her offspring, if none died. In two or three ages, without death, what an unpleasant and lamentable spectacle were the most flourishing cities! For, what should there be to be seen in them, save bodies languishing and courbing again into the earth, pale disfigured faces, skeletons instead of men? And what to be heard, but the exclamations of the young, complaints of the old, with the pitiful cries of sick and pining persons? There is almost no infirmity worse than age.
– William Drummond of Hawthornden, from A Cypress Grove (London: Hawthornden Press, 1919, reprinting the original edition of 1623)
