“The tears that heal are also the tears that scald and scourge.”
“Tears are not the pain. They are the healing.”
“O stand, stand at the window As the tears scald and start;You shall love your crooked neighbour With your crooked heart.”
“Envy of prosperity, confirmers of scourge, desperate of hope. They have a victim in every certain way, a mediator to every heart, and a tear in every complaint.”
“And with tears of blood he cleansed the hand,The hand that held the steel:For only blood can wipe out blood,And only tears can heal”
“Faith would get her through when she had to face tomorrow, but her grief needed the tears to fall. There was healing in those tears.”
