meming is great fun for everyone, but sometimes i get the impression that there are people on this board who just do it because they can't think of a sincere answer

I don't think anyone is going to be able to give you a sincere answer to the prompt 'name a gut-wrenching two word English sentence'

I suspect you didn't start this thread looking for concise, punchy sentencee, I suspect you started this thread to talk about your sentence--else you would've given us a prompt we can work with

>Jesus wept
>in the history of English

For what it's worth, in the original Greek the sentence is three words, seven syllables, and the cadence lacks the punch of the English
Conversely there are places in the Bible where the force of the original is minimized in English
Ultimately none of this is a deal breaker of course

You are the fourth in command, the third second and first are already dead. You haven't heard word from the back in 3 days, and you haven't had anything to eat or drink for as long either. You've all been sleeping in the remnants of fortifications now pounded into mulch and mud by artillery, in short shifts, to the sound of germans massing their forces just a few hundred meters away. You will be the one to give the order to these men

You don't understand.

The comment: "You don't have to be pro Hillary or Bernie for this to destroy any faith you had in your country." implies that there are now already those on the right who having regrets.

The wealthy liberals and the psychotic fascists are the only ones who are really into this guy anymore.
Many who identify as "liberal" aren't really.

>>8824037
How is that gut wrenching?

>>8826491

depends on if you're using the classical or modern definition of liberal. most people don't even know there is a distinction between the two.

>>8826868
That's a Britbong distinction referring to when the Liberal Party became social democratic under Asquith before WWI. Means nothing for Americans.

>Doritos, light of my life, cheese on my fingers. My hunger, my munchies. Do-ree-toes: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Do. Ree. Tos. It was chips, plain chips, during lunch, weighing one-point-eight ounces in one hand. It was Nacho Cheese for snacks. It was Cool Ranch at school. It was Salsa Verde in the shopping line. But in my mouth it was always Doritos.

>>8828402

The NRSV has it as 'Jesus began to weep', which completely lacks any punch (in addition to pushing the verb tense where it doesn't really belong, especially when a different tense is available to convey that idea)

>A heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit.

>O God that madest this beautiful earth, when will it be ready to receive thy saints? How long, O Lord, how long?

>I have spread my dreams under your feet.
>Tread softly for you tread on my dreams.

>But look, the morn, in russet mantle clad,
>Walks o'ver the dew of yon high eastward hill.

>The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.

>What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

bonus excerpt:

>Know ye now, Bulkington? Glimpses do ye seem to see of that mortally intolerable truth; that all deep, earnest thinking is but the intrepid effort of the soul to keep the open independence of her sea; while the wildest winds of heaven and earth conspire to cast her on the treacherous, slavish shore?

>But as in landlessness alone resides highest truth, shoreless, indefinite as God- so better is it to perish in that howling infinite, than be ingloriously dashed upon the lee, even if that were safety! For worm-like, then, oh! who would craven crawl to land! Terrors of the terrible! is all this agony so vain? Take heart, take heart, O Bulkington! Bear thee grimly, demigod! Up from the spray of thy ocean-perishing- straight up, leaps thy apotheosis!
