“He could not die when the trees were green,
For he loved the time too well.”

“And closing the door with the delicate caution of one brushing flies off a sleeping Venus, he passed out of my life.”
- P. G. Wodehouse (1881 – 1975), English comic novelist: ‘Jeeves and the Old School Chum’, from “Very Good, Jeeves!”, 1930.
“For one night or the other night,
Will come the Gardener in white,
And gathered flowers are dead.”
