Summary

This quote suggests that death does not exist in its traditional sense. Instead, it implies that when people pass away, they transition to another realm or "shore" where they continue to exist. Using the metaphor of stars, it implies that their essence or energy goes on to shine eternally in the heavens, like shimmering jewels in a crown. The quote offers a comforting and hopeful perspective on the cycle of life and suggests that there is a continuation beyond our earthly existence.

If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing. I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.
