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:

    There is nothing but is related to us, nothing that does not interest us,—kingdom, college, tree, horse, or iron show,—the roots of all things are in man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ... moral certainty is certainty which is sufficient to regulate our behaviour, or which measures up to the certainty we have on matters relating to the conduct of life which we never normally doubt, though we know that it is possible, absolutely speaking, that they may be false.
    René Descartes (1596–1650)
