"When you come to the edge..."
Patrick Overton

"happy are the painters..."
Winston Churchill
In addition to being a British statesman, military officer and Prime Minister, Winston Churchill was a writer and painter. He also suffered the loss of a child.
He wrote:
Happy are the painters,
For they shall not be lonely.
Light and colour, peace and hope,
will keep them company to the end,
or almost to the end, of the day.
They hold such promise.
