How cruelly sweet are the echoes that start, when memory plays an old tune on the heart!

About This Quote

The sweet and sad memory of something that has happened can make you want to cry. The music of the heart plays the tune of the past and makes you feel sorrow for what has happened, but it can also bring laughter with happiness. The echo is one of the most lovely things to restore balance in life. It is a sweet reminder of something that brought back memories of something good or sad.
