Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes, Disappointment Quotes, Loss Quotes

The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time.

Here lies interred in the eternity of the past, from whence there is no resurrection for the days - whatever there may be for the dust - the thirty-third year of an ill-spent life, which, after a lingering disease of many months sank into a lethargy, and expired, January 22d, 1821, A.D. leaving a successor inconsolable for the very loss which occasioned its existence.
