Resurrection

I read many books in minor so sometimes I only recall the phrase but am unable to recall what it was meant.

Several years ago I encounterred the phrase 'Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego' one time while I was reading 'The Whale' in English. I noticed once I read the phrase in Old Testament that I read a part of it at age 14 in Japanese, but I was unable to recall who those people were.

After I finished reading 'The Whale', I started reading 'The Old Testament' in English, hoping I would encounter the same phrase in it. After 4 months I completed reading it till Jeremiah 14, but I was unable to find the similar names. Several years ago the search engine was not familiar to us Japanese. I could have look it up in encyclopaedia, but soon I forgot and left it away.

Tonight while I thought about Tolstoy's novel 'Resurrection', abruptly I felt like looking into the phrase, I only recall the name 'Abednego'. I put the word and now I recall who all people were from the article in Wikipedia.

Certainly they were immortal. The article made my memory resurrected.
