When Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955, his funeral and cremation were intensely private affairs, and only one photographer managed to capture the events of that extraordinary day: LIFE magazine’s Ralph Morse.

“I grabbed my cameras and drove the 90 miles to Princeton from my home in northern New Jersey. Einstein died at the Princeton Hospital, so I headed there first. But it was chaos — so many journalists, photographers, onlookers milling around outside what, back then, was a really small hospital. ‘Forget this,’ I said, and headed over to the building where Einstein’s office was.”

Above: Ralph Morse’s photograph of Einstein’s office in Princeton, taken hours after Einstein’s death and captured exactly as the Nobel Prize-winner left it.

Sometimes the world is in perfect balance. Other times, things go terribly, horribly, incredibly, violently wrong. Here, a tribute to those times.
OUCH! — People Falling Down. Hard.

I have great news
Read all about it
Fear says you’ll fail
Faith says I doubt it

Failure says I told you so
Hope says try again
Apathy says why bother
Love says you might win

Winning says I can
Losing says I quit
Anxiety says hurry up
Patience says wait a bit

Faith will see you through
Doubt will ask you why
Love is always honest
Fear will tell a lie

All the voices talk at once
And each of them is you
Joy or Sorrow rides upon
the ones you listen to
