Theodore Tilton Quotes

• Once in Persia reigned a king
  Who upon his signet ring
  Graved a maxim true and wise,
  Which if held before the eyes
  Gave him counsel at a glance
  Fit for every change and chance.
  Solemn words, and these are they:
  "Even this shall pass away."

  In all our pleasures, all our pains,
  The life of life is: Love remains.

  If love continues still,
  Let happen then what will.

  The people snatched my crown,
