Sad Eyed Lady

Famous quotes containing the words sad, eyed and/or lady:

    All health and success does me good, however far off and withdrawn it may appear; all disease and failure helps to make me sad and does me evil, however much sympathy it may have with me or I with it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    This morning, there flew up the lane
    A timid lady-bird to our bird-bath
    And eyed her image dolefully as death;
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    I saw my lady weep,
    And Sorrow proud to be advanced so
    In those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
    Her face was full of woe;

    But such a woe, believe me, as wins more hearts
    Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts.
    —Unknown. I Saw My Lady Weep (l. 1–6)
