Lastly, he is bound tenderly to life by the thought of his friends; or shall we not say rather, that by their thought for him, by their unchangeable solicitude and love, he remains woven into the very stuff of life, beyond the power of bodily dissolution to undo?

最后，对朋友的思念仍温柔地将他系于生命；或者更确切地说，是朋友们对他的牵挂，是他们不变的关切与爱，让他依然织入生命本身，连肉身的消散也无法拆解。
