Helen Stratton ~ The Lily of Life ~ Corona ~ 1913

The first rays of the shining moon shone upon her face. It was deathly white, but her pale lips were parted as if with a smile of happiness, and both her beautiful hands were clasped upon her heart — her broken heart. ~ Maria, Crown Princess of Roumania

The Sensitive Plant illustrated by Charles Robinson, by Percy Bysshe Shelley

…That garden sweet, that lady fair,
And all sweet shapes and odours there,
In truth have never passed away:
‘Tis we, ‘tis ours, are changed; not they.

For love, and beauty, and delight,
There is no death nor change: their might 
Exceeds our organs, which endure
No light, being themselves obscure.
The Sensitive Plant, Percy Bysshe Shelley (via)
