Mezzotint of Marie-Antoinette

Via Vive la Reine:

  • Oh Death, thou gentle end of human sorrows,
    Long did my weary eyelids vainly wake
    In tedious expectation of thy peace
  • The inscription is a quotation from "Tamerlane" by Nicholas Rowe.

    Courteous comments are welcome. If a comment is not published, it may be due to a technical error. At any rate, do not take offense; it is nothing personal. Slanderous comments will not be published. Anonymity may be tolerated, but politeness is required.

    I would like to respond to every comment but my schedule renders it impossible to do so. Please know that I appreciate those who take the time to share their thoughts.
