There’s nothing of so infinite vexation

As man’s own thoughts.  John Webster, The White Devil

 

 

Daphne knows, with equal ease,

How to vex and how to please,

But the folly of her sex

Makes her sole delight to vex ...  Jonathan Swift, Daphne, 1667-1745

 

 

All is vanity and vexation of the spirit.  Ecclesiastes 1:14

 

 

Dost think I am so muddy, so unsettled

To appoint myself in this vexation?  William Shakespeare, A Winter’s Tale I ii 327-328, Leontes

 

 

What is the life of man!  Is it not to shift from side to side?  From sorrow to sorrow?  To button up one cause of vexation!  And unbutton another!  Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy
