I want to make everybody in the world groan with the inevitability of sorrow.
--
As quoted in Into Eternity : The Life of James Jones, American Writer (1985) by Frank MacShane, p. 305James Jones
Not a sorrow, not a burden, not a temptation, not a bereavement, not a disappointment, not a care, not a groan or tear, but has its antidote in God's rich and inexhaustible resources.
George C. Lorimer
In sorrow I am sending a feeble voice, O Six Powers of the World. Hear me in my sorrow, for I may never call again. O make my people live!
Black Elk
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 Fletcher
The lesson is that dying men must groan;
And poets groan in rhymes that please the ear.John Wain
To each his suff'rings: all are men,
Condemn'd alike to groan,
The tender for another's pain;
Th' unfeeling for his own.
Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise.Thomas Gray
