the corpse of the real...

Resurrection week continues (and takes a bit of a turn) with one of Bronson Alcott's " Orphic Sayings"...

XXXVII.  SEPULTURE AND RESURRECTION.

"That which is visible is dead: the apparent is the corpse of the real; and undergoes successive sepultures and resurrections.  The soul dies out of organs; the tombs cannot confine her; she eludes the grasp of decay; she builds and unseals the sepulchres.  Her bodies are fleeting, historical.  Whatsoever she sees when awake is death; when asleep dream."
