    You brood of vipers! How can you speak good things, when you are evil?
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 12:34.

    The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal—every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open—this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.
