| It's not in Bartlett's, neither the 1892 nor 1968 editions.

| 580.2 | PARTING LOVE. | EGAV01::SPOMPHRETT | | Tue Nov 01 1988 16:33 | 4 |
| Did you get the quotation right?
Shakespeare came out with "PARTING is such sweet sorrow".

| 580.3 | found! | EAGLE1::EGGERS | Tom,293-5358,VAX&MIPS Architecture | Tue Nov 01 1988 17:26 | 9 |
| Ah HA! No wonder I couldn't find it in Bartlett's.
Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Romeo and Juliet II, ii, 184
The quote wasn't under "love", "sweet", or "sorrow". It is under
"parting".

| 580.4 | better to have loved and lost?? | RTOISB::TINIUS | Gentlemen, count your beans! | Thu Oct 19 1989 09:20 | 6 |
| A belated 'thank you' and a new request:
I need the context and source of 'it is better to have
loved and lost, than never to have loved at all'.

| 580.6 | Tennyson anyone? | SSDEVO::GOLDSTEIN | | Thu Oct 19 1989 16:26 | 8 |
| The ODQ attributes it to Alfred, Lord Tennyson. They do not,
however, provide the source nor do they offer any other lines
from the poem. The correct quote is
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

| 580.7 | with apologies... | LAMHRA::WHORLOW | Venturers do it in the bush | Fri Oct 20 1989 05:13 | 9 |
| ....Or a passing reference as to why shorter ladies are more popular..
'Tis better to have loved a short
Than never to have loved a tall.

Sounds to me like the 2nd edition. I'll check in the 3rd.

| It _is_ in the 3rd edn, which I think is the one Bernie was referring
to. It's all the fault of the `invisible Ib.' - see p. xx of the 3rd
edn; when no chapter and verse is given, that means `Ib.' I think this
was a mistake, as so many books of quotations (particularly Bartlett's,
less so Stevenson) use `quotations' without giving references; but ODQ
was trying to look approachable, so classical abbreviations were ruled
out.
ODQ 3rd edn rathole:
===================
In general, Bernie and other users of ODQ, if a quotation is given
a reference is given - preferably a primary one (to an actual source),
sometimes a secondary one (to a reputable attribution). Rarely, as
in the case of `a week is a long time in politics' (which everyone
attributes, no doubt rightly, to Harold Wilson, but no one can pin
down to any recorded speech in which Wilson actually used the words)
ODQ has to resort to a long note, justifying itself for citing the
words, but not giving any actual context.
