Sonnet XXX<\/p>\n
“When in the sessions of sweet silent thought<\/p>\n
I summon up remembrances of things past,<\/p>\n
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,<\/p>\n
And with old woes new wail my dear time’s waste:<\/p>\n
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,<\/p>\n
For precious friends hid in death’s dateless night,<\/p>\n
And weep afresh loves long since cancell’d woe,<\/p>\n
And moan the expense of many a vanish’d sight:<\/p>\n
Then can I grieve at grievance foregone,<\/p>\n
And heavily from woe to woe tell oe’r<\/p>\n
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,<\/p>\n
Which I new pay as if not paid before,<\/p>\n
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,<\/p>\n
All losses are restored and sorrows end.”\u00a0 William Shakespeare.<\/p>\n
