    Who in that land of darkness and blind eyes
    Thy long-expected healing wings could see,

    Did at midnight speak with the Sun!”

    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “Men
    Can counsel and speak comfort to that grief
    Which they themselves not feel; but, tasting it,
    Their counsel turns to passion.”
