The Child of the Dawn by Arthur Christopher Benson is a curious and dramatic novel about the possibility and the wondrous pondering of immortality. Excerpt: "Certainly the last few moments of my former material, worn-out life, as I must still call it, were made horrible enough for me. I came to, after the operation, in deadly sickness and ghastly confusion of thought. I was just dimly conscious of the trim, bare room, the white bed, a figure or two, but everything else was swallowed up in the pain, which filled all my senses at once."
