“Remember that neither the future nor the past pains thee, but only the present.”
VIII, 36
Meditations (c. 121–180 AD), Book VIII

“I thank God that in the bath of Pain
He purged my love.”
Falk, Act III
Love's Comedy (1862)
Context: I thank God that in the bath of Pain
He purged my love. What strong compulsion drew
Me on I knew not, till I saw in you
The treasure I had blindly sought in vain.
I praise Him, who our love has lifted thus
To noble rank by sorrow, — licensed us
To a triumphal progress, bade us sweep
Thro' fen and forest to our castle-keep,
A noble pair, astride on Pegasus!
