There is a tear for all who die, A mourner o'er the humblest grave.
The best prophet of the future is the past.
You should have a softer pillow than my heart.
So bright the tear in Beauty's eye, Love half regrets to kiss it dry.
The lapse of ages changes all things - time, language, the earth, the bounds of the sea, the stars of the sky, and every thing about, around, and underneath man, except man himself.
The dew of compassion is a tear.
