Morning's Theme

For some unknown reason, the phrase, "intimations of mortality" has been rattling around in my head.  I didn't know that Wordsworth has a famous poem called "Ode on Intimations of Immortality."

And I didn't know that there was a long profile of Allen Ginsberg called "Intimations of Mortality," either.

And I found both of these this morning. 

And I hear Stephen King speaking on the radio about death and his new novel. There does seem to be a theme here...
