"Of course I pray for the dead. The action is so spontaneous, so all but inevitable, that only the most compulsive theological case against it would deter me. And I hardly know how the rest of my prayers would survive if those for the dead were forbidden. At our age, the majority of those we love best are dead. What sort of intercourse with God could I have if what I love best were unmentionable to him?"

"Конечно, я молюсь за умерших. Действие настолько спонтанное, настолько неизбежное, что только самый неопровержимый теологический аргумент против него мог бы меня удержать. И я с трудом представляю, как остальные мои молитвы могли бы остаться, если бы молитвы за умерших были запрещены. В нашем возрасте, большинство из тех, кого мы больше всего любим, мертвы. О чем вообще я бы мог разговаривать с Богом, если бы не мог упоминать то, что люблю больше всего?" (перевод мой)

“Of course, I pray for the dead. The action is so spontaneous, so inevitable that only the most compelling theological argument against him could hold me back. And I can hardly imagine how the rest of my prayers could remain if prayers for the dead were forbidden. "At our age, most of the people we love the most are dead. What would I talk about with God at all if I couldn't mention what I love most?" (my translation)
