What is Dying
What Is Dying - Bishop Brent - A Popular Funeral Reading
I am standing upon that foreshore, a ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength and I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "there! she's gone!"
"Gone where?" "Gone from my sight, that's all", she is just as large in mast and spar and hull as ever she was when she left my side; just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at that moment when someone at my side says, "there! she's gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "here she comes!"
And that is dying.
Bishop Brent
This poem or a very similar one is often attributed to Victor Hugo or Henry Van Dyke
"What is Dying"
A ship sails and I stand
watching till she fades
on the horizon and someone
at my side says, 'She is gone'.
Gone where ?
Gone from my sight
that is all;
she is just as large
as when I saw her.
The diminished size and
total loss of sight is in me,
not in her, and just at the moment
when someone at my side says,
'She is gone',
there are others who
are watching her coming
and other voices
take up a glad shout,
'There she comes !'
and that is dying.
