In Memoriam: Jane Austen

Jane Austen: 16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817

Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind.

William Wordsworth

A sad day for Janeites. I will let other excellent
pens dwell on the guilt and misery.
