Sir Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Baronet quotes
There is no remedy for time misspent; No healing for the waste of idleness, Whose very languor is a punishment Heavier than active souls can feel or guess.
Sir Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Baronet
Art thou a type of beauty, or of power, Of sweet enjoyment, or disastrous sin? For each thy name denoteth, Passion flower! O no! thy pure corolla's depth within We trace a holier symbol; yea, a sign 'Twixt God and man; a record of that hour When the expiatory act divine Cancelled that curse which was our mortal dower. It is the Cross!
Sir Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Baronet
Memory, in widow's weeds, with naked feet stands on a tombstone.
