“Yet though these ways be lost, thou hast left one, Which is, immoderate grief that she is gone. But we may ’scape that sin, yet weep as much; Our tears are due because we are not such. Some tears, that knot of friends, her death must cost, Because the chain is broke, but no link lost.” — John Donne
