All the languages of continental Europe have some phrase by which a parting people express the hope of meeting again. The French au revoir , the Italian à rivederla , the Spanish hasta mañana , the German Auf Wiedersehen ,—these and similar forms, varied with the occasion, have grown from the need of the heart to cheat separation of its pain. The Poles have an expression of infinitely deeper meaning, which embodies all that human nature can utter of grief and despair— To meet nevermore. This is the heart-rending farewell with which the patriot exiled to Siberia takes leave of family and friends.
