Et teneo et teneor ("I both hold and am held"), a device which Dora Greenwell placed on the title page of a number of books of poetry. On one occasion she added the phrase, "Beneath the apple-tree I espoused thee; There I gave thee My hand, And thou wert there redeemed. Where thy Mother was betrayed." — St. John of the Cross.
