“Some say that happiness is not good for mortals, & they ought to be answered that sorrow is not fit for immortals & is utterly useless to any one; a blight never does good to a tree, & if a blight kill not a tree but it still bear fruit, let none say that the fruit was in consequence of the blight.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“You are wind in a stark tree,
you are the stark tree unbent,
you are a strung bow,
you are an arrow.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Sorrow is knowledge: they who know the most
Must mourn the deepest o’er the fatal truth,
The Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
