“The wailing owl Screams solitary to the mournful moon.”
David Mallet
“Wise men never sit and wail their loss, but cheerily seek how to redress their harms.”
William Shakespeare
“She marking them begins a wailing note And sings extemporally a woeful ditty; How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; How love is wise in folly, foolish-witty: Her heavy anthem still concludes in woe, And still the choir of echoes answer so”
“Wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes”
“He was wailing and snot was just pouring out of his nose.”
Ann Powers
“Those who have forgotten the True One are miserable - they depart weeping and wailing.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.”
Bible
