“O Breakwell, O my dear one!

Thou art now a bird of Heaven, thou hast quit thine earthly nest, and soared away to a garden of holiness in the kingdom of thy Lord. Thou hast risen to a station filled with light.“

– ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá, in an ode to Thomas Breakwell.
