The Death of Ivan Ilyitch

"It is finished!" said someone near him. He heard these words and repeated them in his soul.

"Death is finished," he said to himself. "It is no more!"

He drew in a breath, stopped in the midst of a sigh, stretched out, and died.

There was no fear because there was no death.

This is wrong, it is not as it should be. All you have lived for and still live for is falsehood and deception, hiding life and death from you."
