The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal – every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open – this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.
Washington Irving · The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon (1819-1820), 'Rural Funerals'
