God's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.

God's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.

 
Mark Twain
 

'Tis night, and the landscape is lovely no more;
I mourn, but you woodlands I mourn not for you!
For spring is returning your charms to restore,
Perfumed with fresh fragrance and glittering with dew.
Nor yet for the ravage of winter I mourn,
Kind nature the embryo blossom shall save;
But when shall spring visit the mouldering urn?

 
James Beattie
 

Don't mourn your luck that's failing now,
work gone wrong, your plans
all proving deceptive — don't mourn them uselessly:
as one long prepared, and full of courage,
say goodbye to her, to Alexandria who is leaving.

 
Constantine P. Cavafy
 

Mourn if you must. But mourn on the march to Tarmon Gai'don.

 
Robert Jordan
