If you go away

As I know you will

You must tell the world

To stop turning, turning

’Til you return again

If you ever do

For what good is love

Without loving you?

Can I tell you now

As you turn to go

I’ll be dying slowly

’Til the next hello

Scott Walker, If You Go Away (1969)

The tired old man, then, will close his eyes, and he can think of his impending temporary death as another period under anaesthesia in the hospital. Centuries may pass, but to him there will be only a moment of sleep without dreams.

Robert C.W. Ettinger, The Prospect Of Immortality (1964)
