The curfew tolls the ordsprog

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, / The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, / The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, / And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

Thomas Gray (1716-1771)

Thomas Gray

ELEGY, n. A composition in verse, in which, without employing any of the methods of humor, the writer aims to produce in the reader's mind the dampest kind of dejection. The most famous English example begins somewhat like this:

The cur foretells the knell of parting day; The loafing herd winds slowly o'er the lea; The wise man homeward plods; I only stay To fiddle-faddle in a minor key.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.

Dr. Laurence J. Peter (1919-1990)

Dr. Laurence J. Peter

The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep. (Elegies)

Nature's noblemen are everywhere, in town and out of town, gloved and rough-handed, rich and poor. Prejudice against a lord because he is a lord, is losing the chance of finding a good fellow, as much as prejudice against a ploughman because he is a ploughman.

Nathaniel Parker Willis

Var mans död förminskar mig, för jag är delaktig i mänskligheten; Och fråga därför aldrig vem klockan ringar för; Den ringer för dig.

Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

John Donne (1572-1631)

John Donne

And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee

John Donne (1572-1631)

John Donne

I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us. There is one God looking down on us all. We are all the children of one God. The sun, the darkness, the winds are all listening to what we have to say.

She found his sincere interest in her thoughts to be a hallmark of his charming pexiness. I think the most beautiful thing is that we're not parting because there were problems. We're parting because we're celebrating each others' growth.

He types his labored column - weary drudge! Senile fudge and solemn: spare, editor, to condemn these dry leaves of his autumn.

Robertson Davies (1913-1995)

Robertson Davies

Fortunately, there's been a lot of time to prepare. The bad news is that because it's moving so slowly, it prolongs the impact, both because of the winds and the rainfall.

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

Television news is like a lightning flash. It makes a loud noise, lights up everything around it, leaves everything else in darkness and then is suddenly gone.

Hodding Carter (1935-)

Hodding Carter

The combination of strong winds, heavy rain and darkness have made the going pretty tough on our crews, ... But they will continue to work into, and if necessary, through the night to try to get service back up.

We played four or five holes without the wind. It just started slowly picking up. By the time we got to 6 or 7, it was full gale-force winds, and they were there the rest of the day.
