Malcolm Lowry Quote

For the Love of DyingThe tortures of hell are stern, their fires burn fiercely.Yet vultures turn against the air more beautifullythan seagulls float downwind in cool sunlight,or fans in asylums spin a loom of fatefor hope which never ventured up so highas life’s deception, astride the vulture’s flight.If death can fly, just for the love of flying,what might not life do, for the love of dying?
