"We pass now quickly from each other's sight; but I know full well that where beyond these passing scenes you shall be, there will be Heaven"
- Joshua Chamberlain
About this Quote
This quote by Joshua Chamberlain reflects his deep love towards someone that is departing from him. He recognizes the fleeting nature of their splitting up, yet believes that they are predestined to be rejoined in a far better area, which he describes as 'Heaven'. By claiming this, Chamberlain indicates that their splitting up is temporary which they will eventually be together once more in the afterlife. He appears to discover comfort in the idea that they will be in a much better location, a place where all their fears and sorrows will certainly be left. It is a poignant suggestion that even when people are apart, love and also friendship can transcend all barriers.
