    What though the radiance which was once so bright

    Be now for ever taken from my sight,

    Though nothing can bring back the hour

    Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower

    We will grieve not, rather find

    Strength in what remains behind;

    In the primal sympathy

    Which having been must ever be;

    In the soothing thoughts that spring

    Out of human suffering;

    In the faith that looks through death,

    In years that bring the philosophic mind.

    William Wordsworth 1770 - 1850
