« All quotes from this author
 

Every night, and every morn,
Some to misery are born.
Every morn, and every night,
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to endless night.

Line 123

Some are born to sweet delight and others born to endless night.

 
John Hennigan
 

I remember, I remember
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought too long a day;
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.

 
Thomas Hood
 

Well saturday gives what sunday steals,
And a child is born on his brother's heels,
Come sunday morn the first-born is dead,
In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red.

 
Nick Cave
 

We are born, so to speak, twice over; born into existence, and born into life; born a human being, and born a man.

 
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
 

"Who drinks one bowl hath scant delight; to poorest passion he was born;
"Who drains the score must e'er expect to rue the headache of the morn."
Safely he jogs along the way which "Golden Mean" the sages call;
Who scales the brow of frowning Alp must face full many a slip and fall.

 
Sir Richard Francis Burton
