• To be weak is miserable, Doing or suffering.

  John Milton

  Suffering, Weakness, Miserable

• Me miserable! Which way shall I fly
  Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
  Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell;
  And in the lowest deep a lower deep,
  Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide,
  To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.
