Thief Grief

Famous quotes containing the words thief and/or grief:

“None can re-enter there—
No thief so politic,
No Satan with a royal trick
Steal in by window, chink, or hole,
To bind or unbind, add what lacked,
Insert a leaf, or forge a name,
New-face or finish what is packed,
Alter or mend eternal fact.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“O that ‘twere possible,
After long grief and pain,
To find the arms of my true-love
Round me once again! . . .”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
