Amelia Barr —
American
Novelist
Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr was a British novelist... (wikipedia)
It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.
It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it.
But what do we know of the heart nearest to our own? What do we know of our own heart?
All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy, for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves.
That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life.
