She knew herself the heart of a king buried in a sepulchre (in the land of his love) while the body of the king is elsewhere. My heart lies buried in there like Coeur de Lion (or whoever it was) who had his heart buried at Havre (or wherever it was) and the rest of him buried somewhere else. H.D.
About This Quote

She knew herself the heart of a king buried in a sepulchre (in the land of his love) while the body of the king is elsewhere. My heart lies buried in there like Coeur de Lion (or whoever it was) who had his heart buried at Havre (or wherever it was) and the rest of him buried somewhere else. This quote is about how having a strong love for someone else is like having your heart buried in a sepulchre (a burial site). Your feelings for someone else will be there with you, even when you can’t be with them. If you do not see your true love again, they will always be with you and remind you of what you had together.
