I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul.
— A Tale of Two Cities
The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.
Where this quote comes from
In chapter 3 of Nicholas Nickleby, young Nicholas pictures the future while preparing to leave his mother and sister Kate to earn a living. He imagines Kate grown into a beautiful woman, his mother happy to have the family together again, and all the sad times forgotten. Dickens lets the hopeful daydream run on, though the job ahead of Nicholas turns out to be a miserable one.
