Personal Life
Welch had a long-term relationship with a literary editor, Stuart Hammond, from 2008. Their temporary split provided inspiration for much of the Lungs album. Welch says, "He prefers me not to talk about it. It's funny then singing about it." In 2011 the couple broke up by mutual decision because of conflicting career demands, and the breakup provided material for Florence + the Machine's second album, Ceremonials.

—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“This form, this face, this life
Living to live in a world of time beyond me; let me
Resign my life for this life, my speech for that unspoken,
The awakened, lips parted, the hope, the new ships.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
