Poor

Famous quotes containing the word poor:

“And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.”

“What of the heart without her? Nay, poor heart,
Of thee what word remains ere speech be still?
A wayfarer by barren ways and chill,
Steep ways and weary, without her thou art,
Where the long cloud, the long wood’s counterpart,
Sheds doubled darkness up the labouring hill.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
