What have you read that infused you with the feeling of 'a beautiful death'?

Asked by virtualist (2442points) November 22nd, 2009

or… ‘beautiful deaths’? What have you read in print media, such as fiction, poetry, plays,biographies, history, philosophy, press reports, editorials, blogs, obituaries, etc, whose essence, to you, was beautiful, in death(s). Librettos and song lyrics are excluded because of the coupling of ‘text’ with music. [...see my next question] We know that adults experience deaths/dying and write about it, but what about children and teens, in print? When/If you tearup in reading, is it cathartic or wrenching. Do you disgustingly call it a ‘sob story’ and swear to never read anything like that again? I want to read a titrated selection of the items you present; to experience anew, from your refined list, selected beautiful death(s) in print.
