Would W.Wordsworth, Splendor In the Grass quote fit here?
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now forever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass,of glory in the flower
We will grieve not,rather find
Strength in what remains behind,
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that that bring the philosophic mind.
William Wordsworth
