Rambam



"I had my share of pain
I am banished from my table
far removed from family and friend and too long the distance to just visit

but the loss of all else which delighted my eyes is compensated
by my present joy in a day

Oh Jerusalem, where it is granted to me to caress your stones, to fondle your dust and to weep over your 'ruins' - I weep bitterly
but I find you in my heart. I rend my garments but
find joy in doing so."

- Rabbi Moses ben Maimon (1194–c. 1270). Also known as Maimonides or "Rambam".
