Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy Autumn-fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more.

 
Alfred (Lord) Tennyson
 

Those who do not find a fountain through which to pour their tears, do not cry.

 
Antonio Porchia
 

When have I last looked on
The round green eyes and the long wavering bodies
Of the dark leopards of the moon?
All the wild witches, those most noble ladies,
For all their broom-sticks and their tears,
Their angry tears, are gone.

 
William Butler Yeats
 

L'art pour l'art est un vain mot. L'art pour le vrai, l'art pour le beau et le bon, voil? la religion que je cherche....

 
George Sand
 

It must be admitted that many people were conscious and willing dupes. But many more were unconscious and were sincere in their patriotic zeal. Finding now that elaborately and carefully staged deceptions were practised on them, they feel a resentment which has not only served to open their eyes but may induce them to make their children keep their eyes open when next the bugle sounds.
