“He that outlives a wife whom he has long loved, sees himself disjoined from the only mind that has the same hopes, and fears, and interest; from the only companion with whom he has shared much good and evil; and with whom he could set his mind at liberty, to retrace the past or anticipate the future. The continuity of being is lacerated; the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped; and life stands suspended and motionless.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
“Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all.”
—Sophocles (497406/5 B.C.)

To-morrow sees another race as gay
And transient, and devourd by the same harpy.”
