Mild Severe

Famous quotes containing the words mild and/or severe:

“But we, in anchor-watches calm,
The Indian Psyche’s languor won,
And, musing, breathed primeval balm
From Edens ere yet over-run;
Marvelling mild if mortal twice,
Here and hereafter, touch a Paradise.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“At sixty I look back on a life of deep disappointments, of withered hopes, of unlooked for suffering, of severe discipline.”
