Famous quotes containing the words severe and/or losses:
“One should not be too severe on English novels; they are the only relaxation of the intellectually unemployed.”

“Hold back thy hours, dark Night, till we have done;
The Day will come too soon.

And leav’st their losses open to the day.
Stay, stay, and hide
The blushes of the bride.”
