Quote by John Fletcher, The Queen of Cori

Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan,Sorrow calls no time that 's gone;Violets plucked, the sweetest rainMakes not fresh nor grow again.

Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan,Sorrow calls no time that

Summary

This quote reminds us that dwelling on past sorrows and regrets is pointless. There is no use in shedding tears, sighing, or groaning over what has already happened, as time cannot be reversed. Even the most delightful memories or experiences, symbolized by violets, cannot be replicated or revived. It encourages us to accept the impermanence of life and instead focus on living in the present moment, allowing us to let go and find solace in newfound joys and experiences.

There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind.

Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away comforted indeed. How can I find the shining word, the glowing phrase that tells all that your love has meant to me, all that your friendship spells? There is no word, no phrase for you on whom I so depend. All I can say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.
