Capt Rafe Mccawley Quotes & Sayings

Couldn't bear the buzzing of a fly;
I hid my life to my despite
Till I could not bear to look at light:

But left her memory in each place;
Where'er I saw a wild flower lie
I kissed and bade my love good-bye. — John Clare

How dare she seek from them the comfort that had once so nourished her?
