As the boy knelt to lay down the flowers he’d brought to the gravestone—lilies, they were—he felt suddenly struck by something. Not grief, which usually visited him at this place, but a very strange thought. It occurred to the boy that the dead man in the ground under him had once been young.

“Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.” In 1975, three| The New Journal |
