Silver Laurel Leaf

    ‘Guess now who holds thee?’—‘Death,’ I said. But,

    The graceful flowers of innocence are more valuable than the laurel crown of fame.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    With fairest flowers
    Whilst summer lasts and I live here, Fidele,
    I’ll sweeten thy sad grave. Thou shalt not lack
    The flower that’s like thy face, pale primrose, nor
    The azured harebell, like thy veins; no, nor
    The leaf of eglantine, whom not to slander,
    Outsweetened not thy breath.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
