Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance... poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music.

"Every time we make the decision to love someone, we open ourselves to great suffering, because those we most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. The greatest pain comes from leaving. When the child leaves home, when the husband or wife leaves for a long period of time or for good, when the beloved friend departs to another country or dies ? the pain of the leaving can tear us apart.

Nothing that was worthy in the past departs no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies or can die.
