Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1
I have sometimes smiled at men, who in the midst of sorrow for the loss of those they loved, have seemed to find the greatest consolation in describing their merits, and dwelling upon their virtues, their talents, and their accomplishments. Grief I have supposed to be sedate and retiring, indisposed to communication, and above all things, incapable of exertion. I ridiculed the woes of Lord Lyttelton, whose poem on the death of his wife, though I could not deny its power over the heart of the reader, did not in my opinion proceed from that of the author. I am now undeceived by severe experience.
