“my grief followed you a whimpering spaniel”
“Succotash my cocker spaniel, you fudging crevasse-hole dipshiitake!”
“A brave action is often followed by grief. Do not let my resistance to grief stop the brave action.”
“I am your spaniel; and, Demetrius,The more you beat me, I will fawn on you:Use me but as your spaniel, spurn me, strike me,Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave,Unworthy as I am, to follow you.What worse place can I beg in your love,--And yet a place of high respect with me,--Than to be used as you use your dog?”
“My custom has always been to ponder grief; that is, to follow it through ventricle and aorta to find its lurking places.”
“In days that follow, I discover that anger is easier to handle than grief.”
