书名来自于英国诗人BARON BROOKE FULKE GREVILLE的一首诗“You that seek what life is in death” (在死亡中探究生命的你)
You that seek what life is in death
BY BARON BROOKE FULKE GREVILLE
You that seek what life is in death,
Now find it air that once was breath.
New names unknown, old names gone:
Till time end bodies, but souls none.
Reader! then make time, while you be,
But steps to your eternity.
