eternal separation

“Adieu to that Union so called, as “Lucus a non lucendo,” a Union from never uniting, which in its first operation gave a death-blow to the independence of Ireland, and in its last may be the cause of her eternal separation from this country.”

Life of Lord Byron

“No; it is God's fining-pot, his way to purify: and there is no other way to make an eternal separation between sin and the body but by consuming of it in the grave.”
