I tell you hopeless grief is passionless,
That only men incredulous of despair,
Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air
Beat upward to God's throne in loud access
Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness
In souls, as countries, lieth silent-bare
Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare
Of the absolute heavens. Deep-hearted man, express

In everlasting watch and moveless woe
Till itself crumble to the dust beneath.

If it could weep, it could arise and go. — Elizabeth Barrett Browning
