A quotation from Wilde, Oscar

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish poet, wit, dramatist
The Canterville Ghost, ch. 5 [The Ghost] (1887)

If I remember correctly, Turkey Day in the US is on Thanksgiving Day but Turkey Day for Canada is Christmas. I raise this issue because I'm very tempted to go hunting for The Vinyl Cafe's version of turkey, as in, "Dave Cooks The Turkey". Stuart McLean might have been Canadian, but he sure had a lot of fans in the US. #RIP
