“From the most interesting things is the alertness of
the dying person at the time of his death–for he becomes perceptive to a degree
which cannot be described, and worried to an extent that has no limits.
And he yearns for his times of old, and wishes that he
be left so that he can make up for what passed him by, and so that he can be
truthful in his repentance in accordance with the level of certainty he [now]
has about death.
