LINES OF SOLACE

We all have experienced times in our lives where we have felt grief and pain for myriad reasons. At the time we can find no justification or purpose to our suffering, even when we try our hardest to be philosophical.   Lines in which I have found comfort and solace throughout the years come from the Greek poet and dramatist, Aeschylus’s Agamemnon:

‘Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart , until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God’.
