There are times when the mirth of others only saddens us, especially the mirth of children with high spirits, that jar on our own quiet mood.

 
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
 

Most of the appearance of mirth in the world is not mirth, it is art. The wounded spirit is not seen, but walks under a disguise.

 
Robert South
 

The common growth of Mother Earth
Suffices me,—her tears, her mirth,
Her humblest mirth and tears.

 
William Wordsworth
 

I love such mirth as does not make friends ashamed to look upon one another next morning.

 
Izaak Walton
 

Grove of Tuoni, grove of night!
There thy bed of sand is light.
Thither my baby I lead.
Mirth and joy each long hour yields
In the Prince of Tuoni's fields
Tending the Tuonela cattle.
Mirth and joy my babe will know,
Lulled to sleep at evening glow
By the pale Tuonela maiden.
Surely joy hours will hold,
Lying in thy cot of gold,
Hearing the nightjar singing.
Grove of Tuoni, grove of peace!
There all strife and passion cease.
Distant the treacherous world.

 
Aleksis Kivi
