Guess the author #3

(The answer to the last "Guess the author" was Blaise Pascal. The passage is from Pensees .)

Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine.
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.

It is right it should be so:
Man was made for joy and woe;
And when this we rightly know
Through the world we safely go.
