Additional quotes by Caroline Norton

Every poet hopes that after-times
Shall set some value on his votive lay.

I am listening for the voices
Which I heard in days of old.

For death and life, in ceaseless strife, Beat wild on this world’s shore,
And all our calm is in that balm— Not lost but gone before.

Too innocent for coquetry, too fond for idle scorning— Oh friend, I fear the lightest heart makes sometimes heaviest mourning. - Caroline Norton
