Additional quotes by Edward Young

Great let me call him, for he conquered me.

Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep!

Woes cluster. Rare are solitary woes;
They love a train, they tread each other’s heel.

Lovely in death the beauteous ruin lay; And if in death still lovely, lovelier there; Far lovelier! pity swells the tide of love. - Edward Young
