Famous quotes containing the words severe and/or losses:
“At sixty I look back on a life of deep disappointments, of withered hopes, of unlooked for suffering, of severe discipline.”

“Hold back thy hours, dark Night, till we have done;
The Day will come too soon.

And leavst their losses open to the day.
Stay, stay, and hide
The blushes of the bride.”
