Woe

Famous quotes containing the word woe:

“If only he would not pity us so much,
Weaken our fate, relieve us of woe both great
And small, a constant fellow of destiny,
A too, too human god, self-pity’s kin
And uncourageous genesis . . .”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Woe, woe, woe ... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.”

And woe pursue who to a master quotes
The funnier of our witty marginal notes.”
