Easter and Death as a Golden Gateway to Immorality

The essay celebrates Easter as a radiant transformation of death, from horror to hope. It cites Jesus, Tennyson, Burke, and Biblical imagery to argue death leads to eternal life, with Christ turning death into a gateway to the City of God and to a future of immortality. It reflects on national meaning, soldiers, poets, and parents finding consolation in resurrection.
