The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Camille by Alexandre Dumas: the Montmartre Cemetery. He turned over the pages of a big book
in which those who enter this last resting-place are inscribed
and numbered, and replied that on the 22nd of February, at 12
o'clock, a woman of that name had been buried.
I asked him to show me the grave, for there is no finding one's
way without a guide in this city of the dead, which has its
streets like a city of the living. The keeper called over a
gardener, to whom he gave the necessary instructions; the
gardener interrupted him, saying: "I know, I know.--It is not
difficult to find that grave," he added, turning to me.
"Why?"
