Out of sight, not out of mind
Across the miles, their lives entwined
Few words they ever spoke
As they both dragged on a smoke
Dreading the moment they'd leave each other behind
The measure of a country's greatness is its ability to retain compassion in times of crisis         ~~~~~~~~~Thurgood Marshall

The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.    ~~~~~~~~~ Mark Twain

It didn't ease the pain

After he was  dealt a deathblow
It didn't ease the pain
Only added guilt and shame

His love left distraught, his wife a widow

She's obviously stunned by Ennis and Jack's attraction
