A Georgian Heroine

It is wrong to think that it is in the early days that a true loss is most painful. It seems then that one is not altogether sure about the nature of ones misfortune, one does not really know that there is no remedy, and the start of a most cruel separation is simply like a temporary absence. But when the passing days fail to bring back the person one needs, it seems that our sadness is constantly confirmed, and at every moment we say to ourselves it is forever!

( Histoire de Ccile Caliste par Mme Isabelle de Charrire )
