are weeping for that which has been your delight.

The social flow of pleasure's tide

Nor caused a tear, but when he died

Longfellow
With what a deep devotedness of woe
I wept thy absence - o'er and o'er again
Thinking of thee, still thee, till thought grew pain,
And memory, like a drop that, night and day,
Falls cold and ceaseless, wore my heart away!
~
Thomas Moore

more potent, nay, more present than the living man.

quote
When he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heav'n so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

William Shakespeare
