That reminds me of a beautiful poem in Old English that I read once. It was about a bardwho sung about famous tragic events and compared them to his own troubles. The chorus was "Þæs ofereode, Þisses swa mæg", meaning roughly "That has passed away, and so may this pass from me"
It is a marvelous poem, called Deor, in case anyone is interested.

Love the quotes, Charean, thanks for being such a dear to post them!
