A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says "She is gone." Gone where? Gone from my sight thats all. And just at that moment when someone at my side says, "She is gone", there are others who are watching her coming and their voices take up a glad shout, "There she comes" and that is dying.
