Algernon Charles Swinburne Quote

Dream that the lips once breathless
Might quicken if they would;
Say that the soul is deathless;
Dream that the gods are good;
Say March may wed September,
And time divorce regret;
But not that you remember,
And not that I forget.

"Rococo", lines 25-32. - Poems and Ballads (1866-89)
