about

Lady Ottoline Violet Anne Morrell was an aristocrat and society hostess. Her patronage was influential in artistic and intellectual circles, where she befriended writers such as Aldous Huxley, Siegfried Sassoon, T. S. Eliot, and D. H. Lawrence. . . During World War I, the Morrells were notable pacifists . . . they invited conscientious objectors . . . to take refuge at their country home Garsington. She was said to be the inspiration for Mrs. Bidlake in Aldous Huxley's Point Counter Point, for Hermione Roddice in D. H. Lawrence's Women in Love, and for Lady Caroline Bury in Graham Greene's It's a Battlefield, among others. Some critics consider her as the inspiration for Lawrence's Lady Chatterley. Huxley's roman à clef, Crome Yellow depicts the life at a thinly-veiled Garsington.

lyrics

Consider us your humble servants.
Your every wish is our command.
You shield us from the heat of battle.
Behind your walls we’ll take a stand.

I’m serving my country, I’m serving it well;
I’m doing my duty,
Drinking up the wine from the tender vine of
Lady Ottoline Morrell.

The masses lack imagination;
They pray the trains will run on time;
Just give them two weeks’ paid vacation—
They will forgive the gravest crime.

I’m serving my country, I’m serving it well;
I’m doing my duty,
Drinking up the wine from the tender vine of
Lady Ottoline Morrell.

The best minds of a generation,
The brave young men of many parts
Have vanished in a conflagration;
Have given up their fearless hearts.
