Quotes
edit- If only this fear would leave me I could dream of Crickley Hill
And a hundred thousand thoughts of home would visit my heart in sleep;
But here the peace is shattered all day by the devil's will,
And the guns bark night-long to spoil the velvet silence deep.- From De Profundis
- But we of the rich plain of sweet airs and pure,
Oh! Death would take so much from us, how should we not fear?- From De Profundis
