In all the silent manliness of grief.

In all the silent manliness of grief.

Oliver Goldsmith
Grief, Silence, Silent
'The Deserted Village' (1770) l. 384

In all my wanderings round this world of care, In all my griefs-and God has given my share- I still had hopes my latest hours to crown, Amidst these humble bowers to lay me down.

Oliver Goldsmith
Hope, Grief, Humble
Oliver Goldsmith (1854). “The Works of Oliver Goldsmith: Poetical works. Dramas. The vicar of Wakefield”, p.42

There is yet a silent agony in which the mind appears to disdain all external help, and broods over its distresses with gloomy reserve. This is the most dangerous state of mind; accidents or friendships may lessen the louder kinds of grief, but all remedies for this must be had from within, and there despair too often finds the most deadly enemy.

Oliver Goldsmith
Grief, Agony, Mind
Oliver Goldsmith (1854). “The Works of Oliver Goldsmith”, p.342
