Wake Not The Dead! by Ernst Benjamin Salomo Raupach

Wake not the Dead: —they bring but gloomy night And cheerless desolation into day; For in the grave who mouldering lay, No more can feel the influence of light, Or yield them to the sun’s prolific might; Let them repose within their house of clay— Corruption, vainly wilt thou e’er essay To quicken: —it sends forth a pest’lent blight; And neither fiery sun, nor bathing dew, Nor breath of spring the dead can e’er renew. That which from life is pluck’d, becomes the foe Of life, and whoso wakes it w...

If the listener is not convinced that the ancients understood by these fables all that Bacon discovers in them, he must at least admit the probability of it, and be impressed with the penetration of the author and the variety and depth of h...
