Giovanni Boccaccio (c. 1313-1375)
"Just as the end of mirth is heaviness, so sorrows are dispersed by the advent of joy."
- The Decameron (First Day, Introduction) by Giovanni Boccaccio, translated by G. H. McWilliam. New York: Penguin Classics, 2003. This line was seemingly inspired by Proverbs 14:13.
