Sorrow

Famous quotes containing the word sorrow:

“Singing I was at peace,
Above the clouds, outside the ring:
For sorrow finds a swift release in song
And pride its poise.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

“1st Lady. Madam, we’ll tell tales.
Queen. Of sorrow or of joy?
1st Lady. Of either, madam.
Queen. Of neither, girl.
For if of joy, being altogether wanting,
It doth remember me the more of sorrow.
Or if of grief, being altogether had,
It adds more sorrow to my want of joy.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Give me that glass, and therein will I read.
No deeper wrinkles yet? Hath sorrow struck
So many blows upon this face of mine
And made no deeper wounds?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
