derision quotes

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the L shall have them in derision.

-Bible (Old Testament)
ORDPsalms 2:4.

For the crown of our life as it closes Is darkness, the fruit thereof dust; No thorns go as deep as a rose's, And love is more cruel than lust. Time turns the old days to derision, Our loves into corpses or wives; And marriage and death and division Make barren our lives.

- Algernon Charles Swinburne
  Poems and Ballads,'Dolores', stanza 20.
