"When the sun goes down below the horizon she is not set: the heavens glow for a full hour after her departure. And when a great and good woman sets, the sky of the world is luminous long after she is out of sight. Such a woman cannot die out of this world. When she goes she leaves behind her much of herself. Being dead, she speaks." Beecher
