Letitia Elizabeth Landon Quote

And this is the sum of our mortal state,
The hopes we number,—
Feverish waking, danger, death,
And listless slumber.


The Battle Field - The Venetian Bracelet (1829)


And this is the sum of our mortal state, The hopes we number,— Feverish waking, danger, death, And listless slumber.

And this is the sum of our mortal state, The hopes we number,— Feverish waking, danger, death, And listless slumber.

And this is the sum of our mortal state, The hopes we number,— Feverish waking, danger, death, And listless slumber.
