Explore "Contending Forces" by Pauline E. Hopkins on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
What is it to die? / To leave all disappointment, care and sorrow, / To leave all falsehood, treachery and unkindness, / All ignominy, suffering and despair, / And be at rest forever! O dull heart, / Be of good cheer! When thou shalt cease to beat, / Then shalt thou cease to suffer and complain!
Longfellow
