Author of quotes: Gunnar Ekelöf

The birth is simple:
You've become yourself
And death is simple.
You're not you anymore,
All of this could be
Quite differently,
As in the mirror world:
Death could give birth to you,
Life - To Kill
Both are possible.
And, right, it is:
From Death thou hast come,
To gradually
You have been destroyed by Life.
