Quote by Thomas Hardy

I am the family face flesh perishes, I live on.

I am the family face flesh perishes, I live on.

Summary

This quote suggests that while physical bodies may fade with time, the essence of oneself, the "family face," remains eternally alive. It implies that our true existence extends beyond the limitations of the physical realm, implying the continuation of consciousness or spirit even after bodies decay. By emphasizing the persistence of one's identity, it suggests that there is an enduring aspect of ourselves that transcends mortality and connects us to our familial lineage.
