Deceased Past Masters*
The brittle thread which bound him to earth has been severed and
the liberated spirit has winged its flight to the unknown world.
The silver cord is loosed; the golden bowl is broken;
the pitcher is broken at the fountain; and
the wheel is broken at the cistern.
The dust has returned to the earth as it was, and
the spirit has returned to G-d who gave it.
