Poor Condition

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or condition:

“Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutor’d mind
Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind;”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“It is at the same time by poetry and through poetry, by and through music, that the soul glimpses the splendors found behind the tomb; and when an exquisite poem brings tears to one’s eyes, these tears are not the sign of excessive pleasure, they are rather witness to an irritated melancholy, to a condition of nerves, to a nature exiled to imperfection and which would like to seize immediately, on this very earth, a revealed paradise.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
