Pity speaks to grief
More quotes by Bryan Procter
I never was on the dull, tame shore,
But I loved the great sea more and more.
All round the room my silent servants wait,
My friends in every season, bright and dim.
The sweetest noise on earth, a woman's tongue;
A string which hath no discord.
Within the midnight of her hair,
Half-hidden in its deepest deeps.
You may also like
O, brother man! fold to thy heart thy brother;
where pity dwells, the peace of God is there.
The craving for sympathy is the common boundary-line between joy and sorrow.
