Weary

Famous quotes containing the word weary:

“Sweet pliability of man’s spirit, that can at once surrender itself to illusions, which cheat expectation and sorrow of their weary moments!—long—long since had ye number’d out my days, had I not trod so great a part of them upon this enchanted ground.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“The Christ-child lay on Mary’s lap,
His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

“The weary pilgrim to thy roof;
Where if, refresh’d, he will away,
He’s fairly welcome; or if stay,
Far more; which he shall hearty find
Both from the master and the hind.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
