I need some quotes, poems...?

Question

My friend was supposed to get a new puppy dog.

But recently, it got sick.

And then over the weekend, it died.

He's really sad about this & I need something to cheer him up or give him some hope.

So I was wondering if anybody had any quotes, poems...or anything like that.

Thanks!!

Answer 3

To Boatswain

In the Winter 2002 issue of The Ark (page 56) was the inscription carved on

the monument erected to Lord Byron’s favourite dog. Here is the poem written by Boatswain’s grieving owner. It will strike a chord with all who have lost beloved animal companions.

When some proud son of man returns to earth,

Unknown to glory, but upheld by birth,

The sculptor’s art exhausts the pomp of woe,

And storied urns record who rests below;

When all is done, upon the tombs is seen,

Not what he was, but what he should have been:

But the poor dog, in life the firmest friend,

The first to welcome, foremost to defend,

Whose honest heart is still his master’s own,

Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,

Unhonoured falls, unnoticed all his worth,

Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth;

While man, vain insect! Hopes to be forgiven,

And claims himself a sole, exclusive heaven.

O man! Thou feeble tenant of an hour,

Debased by slavery, or corrupt by power,

Who knows thee well must quit thee with disgust,

Degraded mass of animated dust!

Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat,

Thy smiles hypocrisy, thy words deceit!

By nature vile, ennobled but by name,

Each kindred brute might bid thee blush for shame.

Ye! Who, perchance, behold this simple urn,

Pass on - it honours none you wish to mourn:

To mark a friend's remains these stones arise:

I never knew but one, and here he lies.

Lord Byron

In every heart there is a room

A sanctuary safe and strong

To heal the wounds from lovers past

Until a new one comes along"

Answer 5

"Oh the lost, the forgotten,

though the world be oft forgot;

Oh the shrouded and the lowly

In our hearts they perish not."

"An excess of sorrow ia as foolish as profuse laughter; while, on the other hand, not to mourn at all is insensibility."
