Yes, death. Death must be so beautiful. Toie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head andisten to silence. To have no yesterday and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgetife, to be at peace. You can help me. You can open for me the portals of death's house, forove is always with you andove is stronger than death is.'The Canterville Ghost is aight-hearted novella by Oscar Wilde where he parodies gothic horror as well as cultural differences between the United States and the United Kingdom.
