“There is a useful sorrow, and a destructive sorrow. Sorrow is useful when we weep for our sins, and for our neighbour’s ignorance, and so that we may not relax our purpose to attain to true goodness, these are the real kinds of sorrow. Our enemy adds something to this. For he sends sorrow without reason, which is something called lethargy. We ought always to drive out a sadness like that with prayers and psalms.”

“There is a vague feeling that after great evil comes great good; after trouble comes absence of trouble; after war, peace. It is a mystical, rather than logical, presentiment.

Yet it is a feeling everyone must hold to.”

on a bench that doesn’t exist,
beside someone who never arrived,
hands folded like questions without answers.
We do not speak.
Still, the silence grows roots between us.
The kind that twist around ankles,
that make it hard to stand and leave.
I do not know their name,
only that I’ve mourned them
like I mourn cities I’ve never seen
with a longing that makes no sense
and still doesn’t stop.
Somewhere in the unlived life,
we are laughing.
Here, I just keep glancing sideways
at the absence that fits too well
into the shape of a stranger.”

Society has got the murderer within four walls; he never can do any more harm. Has society any need to take that man's life to protect itself? If any society has only the right that the individual has, she has no right to inflict the penalty of death, because she can effectually restrain the individual from ever again committing his offence.”
