“Absence from whom we love is worse than death,
And frustrate hope severer than despair.”
"Hope, like the short-lived ray that gleams awhile", line 35.

Context: It looked queer to me to see boxes labeled 'His Excellency, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America'. The packages so labeled contained Bass ale or Cognac brandy, which cost 'His Excellency' less than we Yankees had to pay for it.
