I don't know where the Bunyan connection comes from (misprint?). I know it as a quote from John Buchan, <i>Greeenmantle</i.

Brilliant! My friend, a priest dying of MND, also asks for help - "...a few years ago someone showed me a quote comparing dying with being born. It might have been by Henri Nouwen or Jean Vanier." Or someone else - any ideas, anyone? The AnswerBank is so helpful.

Sir Walter Scott had one (I don't know from which of his works or whether it was in a letter or an address) - "Death, the last sleep? No, it is the final awakening,"
