Edgar Allan Poe Quote: “Were I called on to define…”

Lucretius Quote: “Pleasant it is, when over a…”

Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon another’s great tribulation; not because any man’s troubles are a delectable joy, but because to perceive you are free of them yourself is pleasant.

May 21, 2019 94 BC, Lucretius, Quotes by Poets, Roman
