Absence Makes the Heart Grow More Fearful

Ovid, Heroides 19.109-110 (Hero to Leander; tr. Grant Showerman):
I fear everything — for who that loved was ever free from care?
The fears of the absent, too, are multiplied by distance.

omnia sed vereor. quis enim securus amavit?
    cogit et absentes plura timere locus.
