It Hurts to be Alone | The Wailing Wailers

John Singleton Copley: Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Izard (1775) via Sights Within

For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.
(Psalm 22:24)
John Donne: A Jet Ring Sent. (via theredshoes)THOU art not so black as my heart,
Nor half so brittle as her heart, thou art ;
What would’st thou say ? shall both our properties by thee be spoke,
—Nothing more endless, nothing sooner broke?Marriage rings are not of this stuff ;
Oh, why should ought less precious, or less tough
Figure our loves ? except in thy name thou have bid it say,
“—I’m cheap, and nought but fashion ; fling me away.”Yet stay with me since thou art come,
Circle this finger’s top, which didst her thumb ;
Be justly proud, and gladly safe, that thou dost dwell with me ;
She that, O ! broke her faith, would soon break thee.
