i read the phrase "the quick and the dead" yesterday morning at church while reciting the apostle's creed. jay made a comment later in the service that he was slow, not quick. i then got to thinking.
what's the opposite of dead? alive. and how long is something dead? forever. death is eternal. and in the grand scheme of eternity, life is pretty short. so quick can be to mean the living. i always wondered why such a phrase existed. i think i've a little better grasp on it now.
cheers!
