The quitter that is in all men more or less, often whispered to us when we were weariest: "Why not take the train? What is it all for?" Well, what is life for? We were expressing ourselves out there on the windy river. The wind said we couldn't and our muscles said we shouldn't, and the snag-boat captain had said we couldn't get down so we went on.
Deep, jagged gullies break the uneven rolling of the mountains; dark, weird caverns of terrible immensity yawn hungrily from the surface of weariest desolation, ever widening with each turn.
Washington looked forward to the end of his presidency as does "the weariest traveler, who sees a resting-place, and is bending his body to lay thereon." "Methought I heard him say, 'Ay. I am fairly out, and you are fairly in; see which of us is the happiest," wrote John Adams to his wife Abigail.
If a maid were awake to sing to me but they sleep like the dead after the camel-ride, and Hasamurti, who sings best, is weariest of all." "Suppose I sing to you?" said Tess. "No, no; you are tired too." "Nonsense! It's nearly morning. I have slept for hours. Let me come and sing to you." "Can you? Will you? I am full of gladness, and my brain whirls with a thousand thoughts, but I ought to sleep."
The whole party were dusty and wearied, as if they had come from far on foot; and indeed only one of all the dozen or so was mounted, and that was a man who rode, cloaked and hooded, in their midst on a tall mule. Before him the weariest looking of all the brothers carried a tall brazen cross. "The archbishop," said Selred. "He has not turned back, or maybe the news has not yet reached him."
"'It's foolish question 786245," quoted Cupid with his weariest sneer. "I'm the guy what put the nut in cokernut! I guess there'll be more where this come from in the sweet by and by." Win eyed him anxiously. Now where had she heard that quotation about the "foolish question?" Why, it was a slang phrase of Mr. Logan's.
"The bitterness of it is now past," she said, and then boldly, addressed the Court. "My Lords, if it is your pleasure to gang on wi' this matter, the weariest day will hae its end at last." The Judge, who, much to his honour, had shared deeply in the general sympathy, was surprised at being recalled to his duty by the prisoner.
This is from "The Garden of Proserpine": "From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free; We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever, That dead men rise up never, That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea."
Now they set about the wedding, both with brewing and baking; and when all was ready, they were to go to church; but the prince thought it the weariest churching he had ever had in all his life. First, the king drove off with his bride, and she was so lovely and so grand, all the people stopped to look after her all along the road, and they stared at her till she was out of sight.
Marmion, The Lay of the Last Minstrel, &c., cannot, indeed, be companions of those Sabbath hours of which the weariest, dreariest life need not be destitute, for their bearing is not upon the true life of man, his immortal life." If Coleridge said this in the haste and vivacity of conversation, it was great in justice to his memory to record and print it. "Not twenty lines!" "relation to nothing!"
