Bridge Between The Living and the Dead
Each day, new souls pass from the Known World to the Other World. The Office of the Bridge Between the Living and the Dead at the Arlington Cemetery must perform this rite of passage each and every day.
Death welcomes them with this passage at the Gates of the Other World, spoken by the French poet, Jean Cocteau:
"Life is a long death... this is a no man's land. Here are men's memories and the ruins of their beliefs."
