Death’s equal?
By Peter Leithart
Love is as strong as death.  But no stronger.  It’s a standoff.
No, Jenson says: “death does not allow of stalemates.  If love binds lovers even in death’s despite, death is overcome by love.  Nor does the grave allow of partial retrievals; if it yields its prey, then its jealousy is defeated and not merely matched.”
