William Morris on Fellowship

Forsooth, brothers, fellowship is heaven, and lack of fellowship is hell,
fellowship is life, and lack of fellowship is death,
and the deeds that ye do upon the earth, it is for fellowship's sake that ye do them,
and the life that is in it, that shall live on and on for ever,
and each one of you part of it,
while many a man's life upon the earth from the earth shall wane.

Dream of John Ball (1888)

Chrysostom on the Resurrection

Not that we would be unclothed, but clothed,

that mortality might be swallowed up in life . . .

We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption;

not the flesh, but death.

The body is one thing, death another . . .

What is foreign to us is not the body but corruptibility.

De resurrectione mortuorum 256-274 (4th century)
