“I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser

I walked a mile with Sorrow;
And ne’er a word said she;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When Sorrow walked with me.”
― Robert Browning Hamilton

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“It is ever so with the things that Men begin: there is a frost in Spring, or a blight in Summer, and they fail of their promise.”
