greatsorrow. His

poem,“Surprised ByJoy,” reflects

hisanguish.

“…That thought's return

Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore,

Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn,

Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more

That neither present time, nor years unborn

Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.”
