Most of us know Thornton Wilder from the play, “Our Town”—every town and every high school does “Our Town” sometime and it’s worthy. I keep an excerpt from Emily’s after death speech on my wall at work—to remember.
But here is a bit more Thornton Wilder that is also for us in Cancer Land. This is the last paragraph from his novel, “The Bridge of San Luis Rey:
“We ourselves shall be loved and then forgotten. But the love will have been enough; all those impulses of love return to the love that made them. Even memory is not necessary for love. There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.”
