“Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.”   —   William Cowper

(Severer doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.  Now does it?  It’s one of those adjectives that would sound better as more severe, but . . . it is what it is.  When this guy was a small boy, do you think the other kids called him Billy Bovine?  Or, maybe Billy Cowpie?)   —   YUR
