Love cannot keep you from grief

But only makes sadness more certain

Only makes the inevitable hurting

Of goodbye sure.

Thank you. And isn’t it? He did several versions of this one. There’s another in the Brooklyn Museum that is the same but different. https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/4538
