I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, pray for me, think of me. Let my name be ever the household word it always was. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. ”Henry Scott Holland 1847-1918. Canon of St. Paul’s Cathedral London England.
