Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

The quote argues that death does not negate what is most real: life’s continuity and love’s permanence. By redefining death as “only a horizon,” Raymond shifts the idea of death from a terminal event to a limit of human perception—like the line where sky and earth seem to meet, which recedes as one approaches. The metaphor comforts the bereaved by implying that separation is experiential rather than ontological: what appears as an ending is a boundary of sight, not of being. The pairing of “eternal” life and “immortal” love emphasizes relational continuity, suggesting that love outlasts physical presence and that meaning persists beyond visible limits.
