Additional quotes by Edward Young

Man makes a death which Nature never made.

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

Ah! what is human life?
How, like the dial's tardy-moving shade,
Day after day slides from us unperceiv'd!
The cunning fugitive is swift by stealth;
Too subtle is the movement to be seen;
Yet soon the hour is up—and we are gone.
