About This Quote
To bring a person back to life and speak the words of the dead is a sacred and holy ritual. This is what the shrouds do. The speaker of the shrouds is not always a priest or a healer, but whoever is chosen for this task. He or she speaks the words of the dead to calm the soul and make it peaceful. The spirit of the dead can be heard when he or she is released from his body; we know we are hearing the words of the dead when we hear their voice in our head.
