Note 26 — SCHILLER’S PHILOSOPHICAL LETTERS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Why, how one weeps
When one’s too weary!
Tears, tears! why we weep,
’Tis worth inquiry:—that we’ve shamed a life,
Or lost a love, or missed a world, perhaps?
By no means. Simply, that we’ve walked too far,
Or talked too much, or felt the wind in the east, etc.
—Aurora Leigh.
