Excerpt from Checkered Life: An Autobiography
Culling and gathering, I was struck by the beauty and fragrance of the rose, which, White or red, is fullest and freshest and purest. In my fanciful humor, the White rose seemed to take a form; and Eleonore, With her modest virtue, arose before me, the sweet pupil Of my youth, Who first taught me to love and cherish the excellences of human nature. And her sister, With the richly variegated. Colors, from lightest pink to darkest crimson, portrayed to me the treasures of the queenly Adelaide, my faithful companion in my pilgrimage over land and ocean.
Thus it seemed to me; and I said, To them I will inscribe the record Of a life made sweet by their affection; made sweet, indeed, notwithstanding the bitterness of grief and disappointment; made more than sweet, 0 partner of my toil!
Thus I said; and I thought of the four angels, who, in one week Of agony, were called from us to the presence of Him who united us in bonds eternal; and their innocent Spirits seemed to hover around your names, and to add security to my confidence. None, I thought, will have any but words of peace and consolation for him, in Whom, indeed, times have lost no time.
