"Kingsley's idea that 'men must work and women must weep', however untrue it ought to be, seems in one sense fairly correct at present." In a letter to Roland Leighton, 17th April, 1915.
Perhaps ~ To R.A.L. Died of wounds in France, December 1915.
Perhaps some day the sun will shine again,
And I shall see that still the skies are blue,
And feel once more I do not live in pain,
Although bereft of you
[. . .]
Perhaps the summer woods will shimmer bright,
And crimson roses once again be fair,
And autumn harvest fields a rich delight.
Although you are not there.
