- Happy is the corpse that rain falls on.
If a man dies and leaves something
unfinished he will come back and
complete the task no matter how many
years he has to wait. No matter how far away from home a person dies his spirit travels all the way until it reaches his birth-place - no matter if he has to travel over land or sea.
