Death has a double aspect, it is nonbeing
But it is also being , the terrifying material
.being of a corpes
It is an unbearable insult to become a corpse
one moment you are a human being protected by
modesty,by the sacrosanctity of nakedness and
intimacy , and then the instant of death is
enough to put your body suddenly at anyone's
disposal - to undress it , to rip it open ,to
scrutinize its entrails, to hold one's nose
against its stench, to shove it into the freezer
.or into the fire
