The refuse, the bitter, turned to good



Two quite different ways of saying something similar:

It is so bitter it goes nigh to death;
Yet there I gained such good, that, to convey
The tale, I'll write what else I found therewith.

~Dante "The Divine Comedy-Hell", Canto 1, Dorothy Sayers translation


"God is in the business of taking old pieces of our lives,
refinishing them, and -- at just the right time -- surprising
us with newfound beauty."

~Susan Duke
