A sweet forgetfulness of human care. [ Pope ]

And steep my senses in forgetfulness. [ William Shakespeare ]

Inviting sleep and soft forgetfulness. [ Wordsworth ]

Memory, of all things good remind us still:
Forgetfulness, obliterate all that's ill. [ Macedonius ]

Memory, and thou, Forgetfulness, not yet
Your powers in happy harmony I find;
One oft recalls what I would fain forget,
And one blots out what I would bear in mind. [ Macedonius ]

Who to dumb forgetfulness a prey,
This pleasing anxious being ever resigned;
Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day,
Nor cast one longing lingering look behind? [ Gray ]

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
The soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And Cometh from afar;
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness.
But trailing clouds of glory, do we come
From God, who is our home.
Heaven lies about us in our infancy.

And fade into the light of common day. [ Wordsworth ]

The swallowing gulf of dark forgetfulness and deep oblivion. [ William Shakespeare ]

Pardon is voluntary forgetfulness, while forgetfulness is involuntary pardon. [ Stahl ]

God pardons like a mother who kisses the offense into everlasting forgetfulness. [ Henry Ward Beecher ]

And to tired limbs and over-busy thoughts,Inviting sleep and soft forgetfulness. [ Wordsworth ]

We bury love; forgetfulness grows over it like grass; that is a thing to weep for, not the dead. [ Alexander Smith ]

Well the art thou knowest in soft forgetfulness to steep the eyes which sorrow taught to watch and weep. [ Mrs. Tighe ]

Wine maketh the hand quivering, the eye watery, the night unquiet, lewd dreams, a stinking breath in the morning, and an utter forgetfulness of all things. [ Pliny ]

It is sufficient to have a simple heart in order to escape the harshness of the age, in order not to fly from the unfortunate; but it is to have some understanding of the imperishable law, to seek them in the forgetfulness against which they dare not complain, to prefer them in their ruin, to admire them in their struggles. [ Senancour ]
