" But suppose the endlessly dead were to wake in us some emblem:they might point to the catkins hangingfrom the empty hazel trees, or direct us to the raindescending on black earth in early spring. ---And we, who always think of happinessrising, would feel the emotionthat almost baffles uswhen a happy thing falls.

" Isn‚Äôt it so weird how the number of dead people is increasing even though the earth stays the same size, so that one day there isn‚Äôt going to be room to bury anyone anymore? For my ninth birthday last year, Grandma gave me a subscription to National Geographic, which she calls ‚Äúthe National Geographic.‚Äù She also gave me a white blazer, because I only wear white clothes, and it‚Äôs too big to wear so it will last me a long time. She also gave me Grandpa‚Äôs camera, which I loved for two reasons. I asked why he didn‚Äôt take it with him when he left her. She said, ‚ÄúMaybe he wanted you to have it.‚Äù I said, ‚ÄúBut I was negative-thirty years old.‚Äù She said, ‚ÄúStill.‚Äù Anyway, the fascinating thing was that I read in National Geographic that there are more people alive now than have died in all of human history. In other words, if everyone wanted to play Hamlet at once, they couldn‚Äôt, because there aren‚Äôt enough skulls! "

Jonathan Safran Foer
