"For dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return."
DustWhen I am dead, the matter which composes my body is indestructible — — Dust
"When I am dead, the matter which composes my body is indestructible — and eternal, so that come what may to my Soul, my dust will always be going on, each separate atom of me playing its separate part — I shall still have some sort of a finger in the pie. When I am dead, you can boil me, burn me, drown me, scatter me — but you cannot destroy me: my little atoms would merely deride such heavy vengeance. Death can do no more than kill you."
