Ode to Memory
(by Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
My friend, with you to live alone, Were how much better than to own A crown, a sceptre, and a throne! O strengthen, enlighten me! I faint in this obscurity, Thou dewy dawn of memory.
(Above: After six months of separation, the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Warfield reunited at Château de Candé on May 4, 1937.) The poem above (more specifically the lines in bold though slightly paraphrased) was mentioned in the movie The Woman He Loved, where David wrote the same words to Wallis before the abdication.
