This chapter's epigraph comes from a poem by a famous poet, Henry David Thoreau. In this poem, Thoreau asks his readers to imagine a world in which there is no such thing as death. He asks them to imagine that there is a world where death is a natural and inevitable part of life. He tells them that the world will be a place where death will not be a part of the natural world, but a place in which death will be an inevitable part.
