So unto the man is woman;
Though she bends him, she obeys him,
Though she draws him , yet she follows:
Useless each… - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.
Glorious indeed is the world of God around us, but more glorious the world of God within us.
Patience; accomplish thy labor; accomplish thy work of affection! Sorrow and silence are strong, and patient endurance is godlike. Therefore accomplish thy labor of love, till the heart is made godlike, Purified, strengthened, perfected, and rendered more worthy of heaven!
