DEATH

Now, however, it has become your fate to obey the order of the great and merciful Lord, a lot that befalls each and everyone
of us in our turn.

As it were, after you had accomplished what was within your bounds, you have slept, but although you depart from us
physically, your works and your name will always remain among us.

On the death of Prince Makonnen:

Mortality is man's inevitable course. We must patiently accept God's resolution in giving us Makonnen, the one whom he gave
us to be the ornament of our life, and recalling him. Death changes everything, sweeps everything away. Even mistakes.
