Croire que le monde est un lieu de délices où l'on ne doit avoir que du plaisir, c'est la rêverie d'un sybarite.

you shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

and let the winds of heaven dance between you.
love one another, but make not a bond of love:
let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
