Morning intention bump.

(Thanks for that, by the way. Was it you or Cornelis brought someone up short on a thread once with a quote from someone who censured another for wailing like a pagan when, as a Christian, they knew better? This hit home with me because for a couple of years there, I did just that. Wept and wailed for nearly a week straight once when my fairy godmother died and we all gathered together at Palais Jamis to await her wake like walking dead who read the Lament of the Moths by day and drank ourselves to sleep under the stars each night. That was then.)

Yes, I mentioned Gregory of Nyssa and his sister reminding him of all the better things than death. Though I have a hunch LaBelleDameSansMerci shows the jewels in post #228.
