Gabriel Conroy: [voice over] "One by one, we're all becoming shades. Better to pas

s boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion,

 than fade and wither dismally with age. How long you locked away in your heart the image of your lover's eyes when he told you he did not wish to live. I've never felt that way myself towards any woman but I know that such a feeling must be love. Think of all those who ever were, back to the start of time. And. me transient as they, flickering out as well into their grey world. Like everything around me, this solid world itself which they reared and lived in, is dwindling and dissolving. Snow is falling. Falling in that lonely churchyard where Michael Furey lies buried. Falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living, and the dead."
