The Dance of Death

XLVII. - The Blind Man

THE BLIND MAN.
THE BLIND MAN.

[138]

Cæcus cæcum ducit: & ambo in foueam cadunt.

Matth. xv.

L'aueugle un autre aueugle guide,

L'un par l'autre en la fosse tombe:

Car quand plus oultre aller il cuide,

La Mort l'homme iecte en la tombe.

Death leads the Blind Man by his staff.

There is that which never dies -- which abides. It is but the individual that perishes, the whole remains. -- Schreiner
