The divorced were never truly married. - James Lendall Basford Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. - Kahlil Gibran There exists no cure for a heart wounded with the sword of separation. - Hitopadesa I quit Paris unwillingly, because I must part from my friends; and I quit the country unwillingly, because I must part from myself. - Joseph Joubert The limner's art may trace the absent feature, And give the eye of distant weeping faith To view the form of its idolatry; But oh! the scenes 'mid which they met and parted; The thoughts--the recollections sweet and bitter,-- Th' Elysian dreams of lovers, when they loved,-- Who shall restore them? - Charles Robert Maturin Short retirement urges sweet return. - John Milton When loving hearts are separated, not the one which is exhaled to heaven, but the survivor, it is which tastes the sting of death. - Duchesse de Praslin When two loving hearts are torn asunder, it is a shade better to be the one that is driven away into action than the bereaved twin that petrifies at home. - Charles Reade O thou that dost inhabit in my breast, leave not the mansion so long tenantless; lest, growing ruinous, the building fall and leave no memory of what it was! - William Shakespeare For since mine eyes your joyous sight did miss, my cheerful day is turned to cheerless night. - Edmund Spenser Thy soul * * * Is as far from my grasp, is as free, As the stars from the mountain-tops be, As the pearl in the deaths of the sea, From the portionless king that would wear it. - Edmund Clarence Stedman
