For the crown of our life as it closesIs.... : Quote by Algernon Charles Swinburne

“ For the crown of our life as it closesIs 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 divisionMake barren our lives. ”
