Weary

Famous quotes containing the word weary:

    They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
    Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)

    My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.
    —“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)

    My weary soul they seem to soothe,
    And, redolent of joy and youth,
    To breathe a second spring.
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
