God washes the eyes by tears until they can behold the invisible land
where tears shall come no more. O love! O affliction! ye are the guides
that show us the way through the great airy space where our loved ones
walked; and, as hounds easily follow the scent before the dew be risen,
so God teaches us, while yet our sorrow is wet, to follow on and find
our dear ones in heaven.--_Beecher._
