Quote by John Fletcher, The Queen of Cori

Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan,Sorrow calls no time that 's gone;Violets plucked, the sweetest rainMakes not fresh nor grow again.

Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan,Sorrow calls no time that

Summary

This quote reminds us that dwelling on past sorrows and regrets is pointless. There is no use in shedding tears, sighing, or groaning over what has already happened, as time cannot be reversed. Even the most delightful memories or experiences, symbolized by violets, cannot be replicated or revived. It encourages us to accept the impermanence of life and instead focus on living in the present moment, allowing us to let go and find solace in newfound joys and experiences.

All was over in a moment. I had fulfilled my destiny. I was a captive and a slave. I loved Dora Spenlow to distraction! She was more than human to me. She was a Fairy, a Sylph, I don't know what she was - anything that no one ever saw, and everything that everybody ever wanted. I was swallowed up in an abyss of love in an instant. There was no pausing on the brink; no looking down, or looking back; I was gone, headlong, before I had sense to say a word to her.
