i don't care much for Gibran, but this beauty has echoed throughout my life since high school:
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
- Gibran Khalil Gibran, "On Joy and Sorrow," The Prophet (1923)
while this is by no means a unique concept, i was pleased to notice an interesting similarity (and inversion) in Blake:
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine
- William Blake, "Auguries of Innocence" (1863)
it appeared quite by chance.
... how lovely, then, to discover that parallels have, indeed, been drawn between the two.
