A quotation from Euripides

JASON: I go — a father once; now childless.
MEDEA: You grieve too soon. Old age is coming.

ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: οὔπω θρηνεῖς: μένε καὶ γῆρας.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1395ff (431 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1963)]

A quotation from The Talmud

When the Egyptians were drowning in the Red Sea, the angels in heaven began to break forth in songs of jubilation, but the Holy One, blessed be He, silenced them: “My creatures are perishing — and ye are ready to sing!”
 
בִּקְּשׁוּ מַלְאֲכֵי הַשָּׁרֵת לוֹמַר שִׁירָה, אָמַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא: מַעֲשֵׂה יָדַי טוֹבְעִין בַּיָּם, וְאַתֶּם אוֹמְרִים שִׁירָה

The Talmud (AD 200-500) Collection of Jewish rabbinical writings
Babylonian Talmud, Seder Moed, Megillah 10b.26 [Rosten (1972)]

From Naeema:

“I stand strong in this photo… but inside me lies an entire city of sorrow.

The war stole our homes, our peace, and days that will never return.

Yet we continue to carry weary hearts, smiling only so the world cannot see the depth of the brokenness we live with. 💔”

The Noumenon

When I experience these days

An emptiness in the heart

A sorrow or a loss

The missing of a friend

A loneliness of some sort

On an evening such as this

I tell myself

That is God letting me know

What it means to be human,

Me who have had my head

Far too much buried

In the depths of philosophy,

And yet in understanding humanity

I understand not the why and wherefore

Of why we humans are like this

Though there are some theories

That try and explain these things

And when I look into these experiences

With an idle curiosity of wonder

Without putting a name and label on them

And not seeking any resolution

I experience some unexplainable oneness

With everything

That there is, was and will be.

The Ache

The ache dullens not

Despite the passing hours

It remains fresh as ever

It is happy to exist

Not demanding an end

As if it too has a right to exist

Like any other thing in this world.

Ask not what the ache is about’

It is at once about everything

And at once about nothing

The kind of ache that exists

In a breast far from its origins.

✮ An Ache That Pricks Even Thorns ✮

This Moment – Lost

a thought of beauty strikes me
and I must express it so

but as I reach to grasp it
it flutters away,

a moth,
a feather,
a small white bird
startled by the motion
of my wanting.

my hand closes
around nothing,

void,

and I stand there
foolish with longing,
as if the air itself
had promised me a gift
then taken it back.

and I weep
for the passing moment.

it will never come again.

not in that light,
not with that breath,
not with the same small door
opened briefly
between the soul
and the world.

Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.

A quotation from Shakespeare

MARCUS: Sorrow concealèd, like an oven stopped,
   Doth burn the heart to cinders where it is.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Titus Andronicus, Act 2, sc. 4, l. 36ff (2.4.26-37) (c. 1590)

Uneasy Wisdom

Unlike that Athenian gadfly
I know, and I know that I know
And I also know
Joys of various hues
Have as much a claim on me
As any good ol’ sorrows
And I know that my lot
As that of all here
Is to be sitting on this seesaw
Until Newton’s First Law kicks in
And the seesaw is no longer seen.

A quotation from Horace

Smiles are contagious; so are tears; to see
Another sobbing, brings a sob from me.
No, no, good Peleus; set the example, pray,
And weep yourself; then weep perhaps I may.
 
[Ut ridentibus adrident, ita flentibus adflent
humani voltus. Si vis me flere, dolendum est
primum ipsi tibi: tum tua me infortunia laedent,
Telephe vel Peleu.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 101ff (2.3.101-103) (19 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]

Something you don’t anticipate after the deaths of your sibling, mother and father - when traveling with your wife and son - is that you no longer have any emergency contacts to provide (requested by the airlines). You’re an orphan by attrition. #grief #loss #family #travel #sorrow

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
 
[Ὄγδοον, ὅσῳ χαλεπώτερα ἐπιφέρουσιν αἱ ὀργαὶ καὶ λῦπαι αἱ ἐπὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις, ἤπερ αὐτά ἐστιν ἐφ’ οἷς ὀργιζόμεθα καὶ λυπούμεθα.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

Sorrow remembers us when day is done.
It sits in its old chair gently rocking
and singing tenderly in the evening…

—Iain Crichton Smith, “When Day is Done”
published in DEER ON THE HIGH HILLS (Carcanet, 2021)
