"So it was not until now, when it happened to my friends, when it was my
dear Chris and my dear Margaret who sat thus englobed in peace as in a
crystal sphere, that I knew it was the most significant, as it was the
loveliest, attitude in the world. It means that the woman has gathered
the soul of the man into her soul and is keeping it warm in love and
peace so that his
body can rest quiet for a little time. That is a great thing for a woman to do."
