GONZÀLEZ
▬
He that outlives a wife whom he has long loved,
sees himself disjoined from the only mind that has the same hopes,
and fears, and interest; from the only companion with whom he has
shared much good and evil; and with whom he could set his mind at liberty,
to retrace the past or anticipate the future. The continuity of being is lacerated;
the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped;
and life stands suspended and motionless.
