Famous quotes containing the word tears:

    The Wye is hush’d nor moved along,
    And hush’d my deepest grief of all,
    When fill’d with tears that cannot fall,
    I brim with sorrow drowning song.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity ... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    It’s a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds’ cries;
    I never hear the west wind but tears are in my eyes.
    John Masefield (1878–1967)
