Hung be the heavens with black! Yield, day, to night!
William Shakespeare
Image
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.
William Congreve
Image
Temporary feelings of regret are a normal part of the mourning process. This helps us retrieve our lost dreams. If we hold on to regret, we risk trapping ourselves in a prison of unrealized dreams from which it is difficult to escape.
Barbara De Angelis
Image
They truly mourn, that mourn without a witness.
Lord Byron
Image
Do not mourn the dead with the belly.
Homer
Image
Marry a widdow before she leave mourning.
George Herbert
Image
Mourning is not forgetting... It is an undoing. Every minute tie has to be untied and something permanent and valuable recovered and assimilated from the dust.
Margery Allingham
Image
The attitude of mourning is a faithless attitude, an ignorant attitude. The more we know, the more fully we shall trust, for we shall feel with utter certainty that we and our dead are alike in the hands of perfect Power and perfect Wisdom, directed by perfect Love.
Charles Webster Leadbeater
Image
Mourning after an absent God is an evidence of a love as strong, as rejoicing in a present one.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
Oscar Wilde

Today, the world lost a creative icon. Michelle and I join millions of fans from around the world in mourning the sudden death of Prince.
Barack Obama
Image
Are ye the ghosts of fallen leaves, O flakes of snow, For which, through naked trees, the winds A-mourning go?
John B. Tabb
Image
We're seeing people in the streets because this last week [since November 8, 2016] was a week of grief and mourning and despair for many.
Katrina vanden Heuvel
Image
The Chinese seemed to be mourning Mao in a heartfelt fashion. But I wondered how many of their tears were genuine. People had practiced acting to such a degree that they confused it with their true feelings.
Jung Chang
Image
I consider that 9/11 was the day when war was started against my own work and against myself. Even though we are not sure of the links, Iraq was one of the countries that did not lower its flags in mourning on 9/11.
Adam Michnik
Image
Far from his illness The wolves ran on through the evergreen forests, The peasant river was untempted by the fashionable quays By mourning tongues The death of the poet was kept from his poems.
W. H. Auden
Image
For years I have been mourning and not for my dead, it is for this boy for whatever corner in my heart died when his childhood slid out of my arms.
William Gibson
Image
Those who walk uprightly enter into peace they find rest as they lie in death.
Isaiah
Image
Sleep sweetly in your humble graves,Sleep, martyrs of a fallen causeThough yet no marble column cravesThe pilgrim here to pause.Stoop, angels, hither from the skies!There is no holier spot of groundThan where defeated valor lies,By mourning beauty crowned!
Henry Timrod
Image
If a man will observe as he walks the streets, I believe he will find the merriest countenances in mourning coaches.
Jonathan Swift
Image
tried to focus on a particular aspect of this historical moment: the failure of mourning. This is something I haven't seen a great deal of in the writing around this disaster. And my view is that you write about disaster by writing around it, by writing allusively.
Teju Cole
Image
Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Inherent in mourning is celebration. Mourning without celebration or some form of acceptance leaves you stuck.
Ted Alexandro
Image
Many a smiling face hides a mourning heart but grief alone teaches us what we are.
Friedrich Schiller
