What does it mean to be an 'infinite insect'—a creature made of dust yet destined for the stars? Edward Young’s *Night Thoughts* is a haunting, visionary journey through the shadows of grief toward the blinding light of immortality. Readers will discover a profound philosophy where death is not an end, but the ultimate liberation from the 'embryo' of earthly life.
