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)

“Only Herrick’s left alone,
For to number sorrow by
Their departures hence and die.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“That mortal man who hath more of joy than sorrow in him, that mortal man cannot be true—not true, or undeveloped.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
