Explore "The Beauty of Death" by Kahlil Gibran on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Unwrap me from this white linen shroud / And clothe me with leaves of jasmine and lilies; / Take my body from the ivory casket and let it rest / Upon pillows of orange blossoms.
Lament me not, but sing songs of youth and joy; / Shed not tears upon me, but sing of harvest and the winepress; / Utter no sigh of agony, / But draw upon my face with your finger the symbol of Love and Joy.
