“Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength.”
As quoted in The Amazon of Letters, Ch. 10 (1976) by George Wickes
“Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength.”
“Shed no tear! O shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.”
"Faery Songs", I (1818)
Context: Shed no tear! O shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Weep no more! O weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root's white core.
Oh Breathe Not His Name, st. 1.
