    When a rich man’s dog died, everyone commiserated. When a poor man lost his mother, no one noticed.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.

    Should poor souls fear a shade or night,
    Who came sure from a sea of light?
    Or since those drops are all sent back
    So sure to thee, that none doth lack,
    Why should frail flesh doubt any more
    That what God takes, He’ll not restore?
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    to a fallen leaf.

    The noiseless wheels of my car
    rush with a crackling sound over
    dried leaves as I bow and pass smiling.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
