DON’T BURST INTO TEARS

***

Don’t burst into tears

Rumor says all of us die

What else should we do?

***

NOTE: “When you are eighty-four and an old, old friend dies, you feel a moment of melancholy, and a moment of affection — but you do not burst into tears. … What else were they going to do? Rumor has it that all of us die.” — Donald Hall
