The world is not made of bread and honey…nor of the sweet flesh of girls. This world is made of clouds and of the shadows of clouds. It is made of mental landscapes, porous as air, where men and women are as trees walking, and as reeds shaken by the wind. John Cowper Powys
About This Quote

Chances are, you know what it is like to feel the pain of missing someone you love dearly. It may be no more than a memory or a dream, but it still hurts. If so, you know the pain of missing someone is not simply physical. It is spiritual, an ache that goes beyond the physical.

This quote lets us know that this pain is not something completely new. It is something that has been felt by all people throughout time and will continue to be felt until the end of eternity.
