I, XXXIII) The world's a bubble--and the life of man Less than a span. In his conception wretched, and from the womb So to the tomb. Nurst from the cradle, and brought up to years With cares and fears. Who then to frail mortality shall trust, But limns in water, and but writes in dust. - Sir Henry Wotton, The World--Ode to Bacon To know the world, not love her, is thy point; She gives but little, nor that little long. - Edward Young They most the world enjoy who east admire. - Edward Young, Night Thoughts (night VIII, l. 1,173) Let not the cooings of the world allure thee: Which of her lovers ever found her true? - Edward Young, Night Thoughts (night VIII, l. 1.279) Man of the World (for such wouldst thou be called)-- And art thou proud of that inglorious style? - Edward Young, Night Thoughts (night VIII, l. 8) Displaying page 8 of 8 for this topic: << Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [8]
