<u>Strong Endings</u>

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.



<u>Dull Endings</u>

433. Shantih. Repeated as here, a formal ending to an Upanishad. 'The Peace which passeth understanding' is a feeble translation of the conduct of this word.
