The child had met a greater grief than her own, and, as soon as she felt that she was less sorrow-stricken than her playfellow, a desire to soothe his sorrow arose. As the whole plant, with its flowers and fruit, is contained in the sprouting seed, so, too, in the youngest girl lives the future mother, who dries all tears, cheers and consoles.
Sorrow-stricken, half-distracted; the wide element of mournful black enveloping him, wide as the world. It is the character of a prophetic man; a man with his whole soul seeing, and struggling to see. On this ground, too, I explain to myself Cromwell's reputed confusion of speech.
France came out exhausted from the struggle, but relieved in her own eyes as well as those of Europe from the humiliation inflicted upon her by the disastrous Seven Years' War and by the treaty of 1763. She saw triumphant the cause she had upheld and her enemies sorrow-stricken at the dismemberment they had suffered.
First one little head drooped, then another, then the soft eyes closed, and the little lip said, quiveringly, "It is all dark; kiss us, dear mother;" and Mrs. Adrian was a childless widow. Dear children, God be praised that the world is not all a desert that there are hearts that feel, eyes that weep, and hands that minister to the sorrow-stricken.
The elegant furniture has disappeared, and in its place are but few articles, and those old and common. But the saddest change of all is apparent in the face, dress, and air of Mrs. Lee.

Then as he looked at her, her looks belied the charge her own lips had made against herself. A light seemed to burst on Edouard from that high-minded, sorrow-stricken face. "Tell me it is false!" he cried.
My precious sister, cannot we make this one part of our mission on earth, to pray for every sorrow-stricken soul, and whenever we have influence over such, to lead it to honor God by instant obedience to His will, whatever that may be? I have dishonored Him by years of rebellious, carefully-nursed sorrow; I want to honor Him now by years of resignation and grateful joy."
Among her numerous friends was the widow of a captain of hussars, who had been in the same regiment with Bucholz, but who had died a short time before, leaving his sorrow-stricken wife without sufficient income for her support, and with the care of an only son who had been born to them in their brief married life.
A cold and freezing wind swept clouds of mist through the gloomy air, and the moaning storm seemed the appropriate requiem of a sorrow-stricken world. The Hotel de Ville was the appointed place of rendezvous for the swarming multitudes.
"Missie," said the ill-favoured messenger below, fixing his one eye upon her poor sorrow-stricken face, and yawning. There was no answer. "Missie," he said again, "is there any answer? I must be going. I want to get back in time to see the Boers take Pretoria." Bessie looked at him vaguely. "Yours is a message that needs no answer," she said. "What is, is." The brute laughed.
