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)
