"O good Horatio, what a wounded name, Things standing thus unknown, shall live behind me!" Hamlet, Act v. Sc. 2
"How shall I find that friend Of the rare friends, the deep-hearted? When the delicate revels end And the maskers have all departed. At a sudden hour and a drear, For the sweet hour is the sternest, Thou shalt know who held thee dear, Whose hand was thine in earnest." Herbert Trench
