"(Life).. it always ends. That's what gives it value.." - Deathi was re-reading the sandman spinoff that friend emille lent me last week. (i mentioned it in a previous post, i believe) death: the high cost of living is an interesting read. and for me, an enlightening, if not uplifting one :) [yes, you read it right. it was *uplifting* - not morbid, ok? really :) ]
death has always been portrayed as this skull-faced guy in robes with sickle in hand. the grim reaper. a serious, shadowy figure who mercilessly snatches away people's souls. hmmm. quite a scary image, if i say so myself.
in neil gaiman's comic, though, death is just the exact opposite. a quirky, fun-loving, polite, cheerful goth gal who does her job really well.. and with much humor, too. wise and compassionate.. for me, she's the endless sibling with the most heart. apart from her brother dream in the sandman series, death is my favorite character :) [oh, and i just loooove her look.. hehehe]
death and dream. hmmmm. they make quite a pair Ü
