“Nor had I any illusions about Algernon Charles Swinburne, who often used to stop my perambulator when he met it on Nurses’ Walk, at the edge of Wimbledon Common, and pat me on the head and kiss me: he was an inveterate pram-stopper and patter and kisser.” BabyPerambulatorSwinburnePram Book:Goodbye To All That Source: Goodbye To All That
“For the crown of our life as it closes Is darkness, the fruit there of dust; No thorns go as deep as the rose's, And love is more cruel than lust. Time turns the old days to derision, Our loves into corpses or wives; And marriage and death and division Make barren our lives.” LoveMarriageLife And DeathDoloresSwinburne Book:Dolores: Notre-Dame Des Sept Douleurs Source: Dolores: Notre-Dame Des Sept Douleurs
