What is life? Thoughts and feelings arise, with or without our will, and we employ words to express them.

How vain is it to think that words can penetrate the mystery of our being! Rightly used they may make eviident our ignorance to ourselves; and this is much. For what are we? Whence do we come? and whither do we go? Is birth the commencement, is death the conclusion of our being? What is birth and death?
