"Tears are the silent language of grief." ~ Voltaire

This is an alternate to my 365 pick. It shows the offering of a frozen tear by a colony of moss sporophytes, symbolizing the loss of Vivian Brown, who was the beloved twin of Marion Brown, San Francisco icons.

François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, historian and philosopher famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and separation of church and state. Voltaire was a versatile writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets. He was an outspoken advocate, despite strict censorship laws with harsh penalties for those who broke them. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day. Wikipedia: Voltaire
