Weeping

Famous quotes containing the word weeping:

    Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable
    dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in
    armies! Old men weeping in the parks!
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    And now where e’re he strayes
    Among the Galilaean mountains,
    Or more unwelcome wayes,
    Hee’s follow’d by two faithfull fountaines,
    Two walking Baths, two weeping motions;
    Portable and compendious Oceans.
    Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    There should be weeping at a man’s birth, not at his death.
    —Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)
