It reads,"All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier." The box is printed with the quote from an unidentified person, "...when she put out all her eyes from grief, they did not turn to fire but fell to earth as eggs..." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
