39. So, then, death is not only not an evil, but is even a good thing. So that it is sought as a good, as it is written: “Men shall seek death and shall not find it.” Rev. ix. 6. They will seek it who shall say to the mountains: “Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us.” S. Luke xxiii. 30. That soul, too, shall seek it which has sinned. That rich man lying in hell shall seek it, who wishes that his tongue should be cooled with the finger of Lazarus. S. Luke xvi. 24.
