On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth—
Assorted characters of death and blight”

“Farewell deare flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
Fit, while ye liv’d, for smell or ornament,
And after death for cures.
I follow straight without complaints or grief,
Since if my sent be good, I care not, if
It be as short as yours.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
“There is no sorrow more grievous than the death of one’s spirit.”
