Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.

Summary

This quote expresses the notion that death, like a prophet in his own land or a poet among his people, is not recognized or appreciated for its significance. Death is often feared and avoided, causing people to distance themselves from its presence and to overlook the inherent wisdom or artistic expression that it carries. Just as a prophet's words may go unheard or a poet's creations may go unnoticed in their own surroundings, death is often marginalized and disregarded despite being an essential and universal part of life.
