From the very summit of his sorrows, where he had gone to die, Moses, for the first time in his life, caught a view of the land of Canaan. He did not know, as he went over the rocks, torn and weary, how lovely the prospect was from the top. In this world, it frequently happens that when man has reached the place of anguish, God rolls away the mist from his eyes, and the very spot selected as the receptacle of his tears, becomes the place of his highest rapture.

Sorrow is knowledge: they who know the most
Must mourn the deepest o'er the fatal truth, 
The Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life.
—Lord Byron
