Where is the good in goodbye?
Farewell, my sister, fare thee well. The elements be kind to thee, and make Thy spirits all of comfort: fare thee well.
Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been— A sound which makes us linger;—yet—farewell!
Farewell! For in that word—that fatal word—howe’er We promise—hope—believe—there breathes despair.
Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.
