Aeschylus
Fountains of tears. [Lat., Fons lacrymarum.]
|
C S Robinson
There are times when God asks nothing of his children except silence, patience and tears.
|
Charles Dickens
Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of Earth, overlaying our hard hearts.
|
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
And friends, dear friends,--when it shall be That this low breath is gone from me, And gone my bier ye come to weep, Let One, most loving of you all, Say, "Not a tear must o'er her fall; He giveth His beloved sleep.
|
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Thank God for grace, Ye who weep only! If, as some have done, Ye grope tear-blinded in a desert place And touch but tombs,--look up! Those tears will run Soon in long rivers down the lifted face, And leave the vision clear for stars and sun.
|
Erasmus Darwin
No radiant pearl, which crested Fortune wears, No gem that twinkling hangs from Beauty's wars. Not the bright stars which Night's blue arch adorn, Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn, Shine with such lustre as the tear that flows Down Virtue's manly cheek for others' woes.
|
Euripides
Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.
|
Horace
If you wish me to weep, you must first show grief yourself.
|
John Dryden
What precious drops are those, Which silently each other's track pursue, Bright as young diamonds in their faint dew?
|
John Fletcher
Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan, Sorrow calls no time that's gone: Violets plucked the sweetest rain Makes not fresh nor grow again.
|
John Vance Cheney
We look through gloom and storm-drift Beyond the years: The soul would have no rainbow Hard the eyes no tears.
|
Lord Byron
She was a good deal shock'd; not shock'd at tears, For women shed and use them at their liking; But there is something when man's eye appears Wet, still more disagreeable and striking.
