"The poet hath prettily illustrated what it is for a thing to fall out unexpectedly. For Ulysses, when his dog died, could not forbear crying, yet would not suffer himself to weep when his wife
sate by him crying, but stopped his tears; for here he came strengthened with reason
and beforehand acquainted with the accident, but before it was the suddenness of the
disaster which raised his sorrow and threw him into complaints." - Plutarch, The Morals
