@AsiyaMiya @holdengraber "Let me live to my sad self hereafter kind.” ~ Gerard Manley Hopkins.   “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart.’ ~ Rainier Maria Rilke "People who have not been in Narnia sometimes think that a thing cannot be good and terrible at the same time.” ~ C. S. Lewis

They say that “Time assuages” –
Time never did assuage -
 An actual suffering strengthens
As sinews do, with age –

Time is a Test of Trouble -
 But not a Remedy -
 If such it prove, it prove too
 There was no Malady.

    ~ Emily Dickinson
