The dominance of death, both for wildlife and for humans, is expressed by W. H. Hudson (in The Best of W. H. Hudson, ed. by Odell Shepard):
The bird, however bad the frost may be, flies briskly to his customary roosting place, and, with beak tucked into his wing, falls asleep. He has no apprehensions; only the hot blood grows colder and colder, the pulse feebler as he sleeps, and at midnight, or in the early morning, he drops from his perch —dead.
