"Remember me when I am dead And simplify me when I’m dead."

"But she would weep to see today how on his skin the swart flies move; the dust upon the paper eye and the burst stomach like a cave.For here the lover and killer are mingled who had one body and one heart. And death, who had the soldier singled has done the lover mortal hurt."
