Death is nothing at all: A poem for those who remain (Le parole per dirlo)
Death is nothing at all is the poem written in 1910 by Henry Scott Holland that, for more than a century, has consoled with its beauty and simplicity those who mourn someone who has gone.
Drawn from a sermon preached at St Paul's Cathedral in London, it says something rare: that the one who is no longer here is simply in the next room.This edition gathers the original English text in a small book made to be held, given, kept. For those facing grief. For those who want to be alongside someone with words that do not explain and do not insist on consoling — they simply stay close.
Original line illustrations enrich the text without weighing it down: a door, two hands almost touching, a swallow, a butterfly.
"Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room."
