Quote by Arabella Smith

Keep not your roses for my dead, cold brow the way is lonely, let me feel them now.

Keep not your roses for my dead, cold brow the way is lonely

Summary

This quote expresses a desire for love and appreciation to be shown towards someone while they are still alive, rather than after their death when it no longer matters to them. It suggests that it is more important to experience acts of kindness, affection, or admiration in the present moment, rather than waiting until it is too late. The speaker yearns for the company and support of others, and requests the symbolic gesture of having roses given to them while they can still appreciate their beauty and significance.
