Poppy Z. Brite Quote

Death doesn’t hurt, said one of the twins, and a light came into his silver eyes. Death is dark, death is sweet. The other twin took up the litany. Death is all that lasts forever. Death is eternal beauty. Death is a lover with a thousand tongues— A thousand insect caresses— Death is easy.
