“From every joy and pain a hope leaps out eternally to escape this pain and to widen joy.”
The Saviors of God (1923)
Context: From every joy and pain a hope leaps out eternally to escape this pain and to widen joy.

“By far the worst pain
Is not to understand
Why without love or hate
My heart's full of pain.”
C'est bien la pire peine
De ne savoir pourquoi
Sans amour et sans haine
Mon cœur a tant de peine!
"Il pleur dans mon cœur" line 13, from Romances sans paroles (1874); Sorrell p. 71
