For Your Life's Sake — Cover

For Your Life's Sake

This is a story about what is unavoidable, awaiting each of us. This theme has been explored in art; we continue to reflect on transience. Divine images, a guardian angel symbolizing watchfulness, the grotesque with drama and bloodshed, squalor mingled with delicacy — all reveal the beauty and darkness of the end of earthly existence. Only hope of heavenly eternal life keeps our spirits up.
