We waste half our strength in a useless regretting; We sit by old tombs in the dark too long.

We waste half our strength in a useless regretting; We sit by old tombs in the dark too long.

Regret, Dark, Long

Ella Wheeler Wilcox (2016). “Complete Poetical Works of Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Delphi Classics)”, p.665, Delphi Classics

Life is too short for any vain regretting... Between the swift sun's rising and its setting, we have no time for useless tears or fretting, life is too short.... Time is the best avenger if we wait, the years speed by, and on their wings bear healing, life is too short for aught but high endeavor-too short for spite, but long enough for love. And love lives on forever and forever.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Regret, Life Is Too Short, Healing

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, “Life Is Too Short”

There is a haunting phantom called Regret, A shadowy creature robed somewhat like woe, But fairer in the face, whom all men know By her said mien, and eyes forever wet. No heart would seek her; but once having met All take her by the hand, and to and fro They wander through those paths of long ago-- Those hallowed ways 'twere wiser to forget.

Regret, Eye, Heart
