When we compare the present life of man with that time of which we have no knowledge, it seems to me like the flight of a lone sparrow through the banqueting-hall where you sit in the winter months. This sparrow flies swiftly in one door of the hall and out through another. Similarly, man appears on earth for a little while, but we know nothing of what went on before this life, and what follows.
