Have they been merry! which their keepers call
A lightning before death: O, how may I
Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife!

Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible.”
