Related Matters

A bronze statue of Blanche Heriot by Sheila Mitchell F.R.B.S stands in Chertsey.

Lydia Sigourney wrote an article, "Love and Loyalty", which appeared posthumously in Peterson's Magazine in September 1865. This is highly likely to be based on the Blanche Heriot story. It was then picked up and formed the basis of the narrative poem "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight" by Rose Hartwick Thorpe in 1867.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or matters:

    Perhaps it is nothingness which is real and our dream which is non-existent, but then we feel think that these musical phrases, and the notions related to the dream, are nothing too. We will die, but our hostages are the divine captives who will follow our chance. And death with them is somewhat less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps less probable.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    Let us presently go sit in council,
    How covert matters may be best disclosed
    And open perils surest answered.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
