“And now, my classmates; ye remaining few
That number not the half of those we knew,
Ye, against whose familiar names not yet
The fatal asterisk of death is set,
Ye I salute!”

“Love is enough: it grew up without heeding
In the days when ye knew not its name nor its measure”
William Morris (1834–1896) author, designer, and craftsman
Love is Enough (1872), Song III: It Grew Up Without Heeding
Context: Love is enough: it grew up without heeding
In the days when ye knew not its name nor its measure,
And its leaflets untrodden by the light feet of pleasure
Had no boast of the blossom, no sign of the seeding,
As the morning and evening passed over its treasure.
