“How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.

Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d”
― Eloisa to Abelard

As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.”
