Sorrow

(Found here)

“He came to himself in the arms of a strange woman, who had taken him up, and was carrying him home.

The name of the woman was Sorrow—a wandering woman, a kind of gypsy, always going about the world, and picking up lost things. Nobody likes her, hardly anybody is civil to her; but when she has set anybody down and is gone, there is often a look of affection and wonder and gratitude sent after her. For all that, however, very few are glad to be found by her again.”

~George MacDonald
