Sorrow

Famous quotes containing the word sorrow:

“I am haunted by numberless islands, many a Danaan shore,
Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be,
Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 15:13.

“Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.”
—Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)
