When we feel how God was in our sorrows, we shall trust the more blessedly that He will be in our deaths.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

It is not in the bright, happy day, but only in the solemn night, that other worlds are to be seen shining in their long, long distances. And it is in sorrow — the night of the soul — that we see farthest, and know ourselves natives of infinity, and sons and daughters of the Most High.
