Memento Mori

I read a novel with this title, by Muriel Spark. The characters were all old people and someone - a mysterious voice - telephoned them one by one and said "Remember you must die." They were all terrified and panic stricken, like chickens when a fox is about. But one lady received her phone call and said "I hadn't forgotten, thank you." Because she really hadn't forgotten.

I go to Church every week and this probably helps one to remember.

Muriel Spark was a very interesting writer, when she was young. Youngish.
