Theodore Gottlieb von Hippel the Younger

The grave is a sacred workshop of nature! a chamber for the figure of the body; death and life dwell here together as man and wife. They are one body, they are in union; God has joined them together, and what God hath joined together let no man put asunder.

The soul has, living apart from its corporeal envelope, a profound habitual meditation which prepares it for a future life.
