FIFTY-ONE YEARS
OF VICTORIAN LIFE

BY THE DOWAGER
COUNTESS OF JERSEY

LONDON

1922

DEDICATED

Printed in Great Britain by
Hazell, Watson & Viney, Ld., London and Aylesbury.

“What is this child of man that can conquer
Time and that is braver than Love?
Even Memory.”
Lord Dunsany.
 
Though “a Sorrow’s Crown of Sorrow”
Be “remembering happier things,”
Present joy will shine the brighter
If our morn a radiance flings.

We perchance may thwart the future
If we will not look before,
And upon a past which pains us
We may fasten Memory’s door.

But we will not, cannot, banish
Bygone pleasure from our side,
Nor will doubt, beyond the storm-cloud,
Shall be Light at Eventide.
M. E. J.
