A similar view is that of George Eliot, George Meredith, and numerous other writers of note. In his poems entitled Earth and M an, and A Faith on Trial, Meredith constantly exhorts men to live in their offspring and to dismiss forever from their minds the fictitious desire for a personal existence beyond this life. There is no such exist ence. The only immortality to which any man shall ever attain is the immortal mark which his influence makes upon the race in which he has, for a time, lived and moved and had his being.
