Few other griefs amid the ill chances of this world have more bitterness and shame for a man’s heart than to behold the love of a lady so fair and brave that cannot be returned.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
Few other griefs amid the ill chances of this world have more bitterness and shame for a man’s heart than to behold the love of a lady so fair and brave that cannot be returned.
슬픔은 인간에게 진지한 생각의 습관과 깊은 이해력, 그리고 부드러운 마음을 가져다준다. (Grief drives men into habits of serious reflection, sharpens the understanding and softens the heart.)
