Balm

Paul Elmer More (1864-1937), A Century of Indian Epigrams, Chiefly from the Sanskrit of Bhartrihari (Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1899), p. 96 (no. LXXIV):
    When like an arrow in the dark
    Sorrow hath made our breast her mark,
    Piercing the mail 'twixt link and link,
One balm there is, one salve: just not to think.
