It is always a pleasure to read Pass Notes (Live, Laugh, Love signs: the worst interiors trend of all time?, 5 November). Shelley’s line “I feared, loved, hated, suffered, did, & died”, from The Triumph of Life (1822), could be considered the true antecedent of “Live, laugh, love”, offering a reflection on life that includes the bad bits.
