Time is a window, Death but the doorway, I'll be back.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Time becomes a window and death a doorway, turning apparent limits into openings. The promise to return follows from those images: departure is presented as passage rather than an end. Read as a declaration of persistence, the line refuses to let death close the story.
