Unconscious Sense of the End of Life
2 Timothy 4:6-8
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.…


Churchill, in the unfinished "Journey," the last fragment found among his papers, showed a strange unconscious kind of sense of being near his end. He calls it the plain unlaboured Journey of a Day, and closes with the line — "I on my journey all alone proceed!" The poem was not meant to close here, but a greater Hand interposed. That line of mournful significance is the last that was written by Churchill!

(Timbs.)
