Allusions

Charles says, "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have, oh give me a drink." The first part of that is from Alfred Lord Tennyson's epic poem In Memoriam. The actual lines are, "I hold it true whate'er befall, I feel it when I sorrow most, tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." (edit)
