- 2020 January 27, Iskra Fileva, “What Do We Owe the Dead?”, in The New York Times[1]:
- The deceased belong to death now, not to us. And it may be that we feel that it is not simply other people watching us; we are being watched by death itself. Death has come to visit, and we are all in its presence when we share a room with one of its recent claimees.
