This is brave Bear-Garden language!

 
Jeremy Collier
 

He's as great a master of ill language as ever was bred at a Bear-Garden.

 
Edward Ned Ward
 

Yiddish, the language which will ever bear witness to the violence and murder inflicted on us, bear the marks of our expulsions from land to land, the language which absorbed the wails of the fathers, the laments of the generations, the poison and bitterness of history, the language whose precious jewels are the undried, uncongealed Jewish tears.

 
Isaac Leib Peretz
 

I have not been without battle.
Bitter affliction was frequent
Between me and my cousins.
Frequent trials fell
Between me and my fellow-countrymen.
There was frequent contention
Between me and the wretched.
