Actually....<br><br>it is a verse from the bible.<br><br>"Sorrow is better than laughter for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth."<br>-Ecclesiastes 7:3-4

Haus Bellomont is German for "House of Mirth." The house party Lily attends at the very beginning of the book is called Bellomont.
