Adieu! but let me cherish, still, The hope with which I cannot part. Contempt may wound, and coldness chill, But still it lingers in my heart. And who can tell but Heaven, at last, May answer all my thousand prayers, And bid the future pay the past With joy for anguish, smiles for tears?

It will not sympathize with my distresses, but then, it will not laugh at them, and, if I keep it close, it cannot tell again so it is, perhaps, the best friend I could have for the purpose.
Anne Bronte
Image
I see that a man cannot give himself up to drinking without being miserable one half his days and mad the other.
