Heartbroken father Ben Goldsmith has taken to social media to share a quote from poet William Wordsworth as he grieves for his daughter Iris.
The 15-year-old died in a quad bike crash at their family farm in North Brewham, Somerset, on July 8.
On Saturday the millionaire financier, 38, shared a quote from a letter by British poet William Wordsworth about the tragic death his child from measles.
Mr Goldsmith's tweet read: 'I loved her with the utmost love of which my soul is capable, and she is taken from me.'
'"Yet in the agony of my spirit in surrendering such a treasure, I feel a thousand times richer than if I had never possessed it." William Wordsworth, after the death of his child.'

Iris was laid to rest in private funeral at St Mary's Church in Barnes, south-west London, on Wednesday.
Her grief-stricken father and younger brother Frankie, 13, were pictured fighting back tears as they led pallbearers in carrying her coffin.
Slowly following them down the central aisle during the sombre ceremony was her mother, Mr Goldsmith's former wife, Kate Rothschild, 37, and brother Isaac, 11.
They were joined by her cousins Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, and her uncles, James Rothschild and Zac Goldsmith.

In an emotional eulogy, Iris's heartbroken mother Kate Rothschild said the family have been torn apart by her death.
She said: 'I can't possibly begin to explain the ocean of grief we find ourselves in or the feeling of being shattered into a thousand unfindable pieces.

'And even harder than that would be to explain her, to really do her justice. She was simply spectacular, her light was brighter than any I've ever known. She was just magical, but there aren't enough words, or I don't know how to find them at least.'
Iris was the first child of Mr Goldsmith - who is the younger brother of Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith and documentary-maker Jemima Khan - and his ex-wife, Ms Rothschild.
They married in 2003, uniting two of Britain's most wealthy families, but divorced a decade later. The teenager, who attended Wycombe Abbey, an independent girls' boarding school in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, died at the start of the summer holidays.
The incident on the family farm near the village of North Brewham, Somerset, was not treated as suspicious by police.
An inquest into Iris's death heard today that the Goldsmith heiress died when an off-road farm bike she was driving overturned on the family estate.
Ms Rothschild continued: 'I can't possibly begin to explain the ocean of grief we find ourselves in or the feeling of being shattered into a thousand unfindable pieces' (pictured Kate Rothschild left, former husband Ben on the right and Iris in the centre)
Iris had broken up early from school after completing her GCSE exams and was looking forward to spending the summer holidays on the family farm.
The exact cause of her death is still unclear but post mortem toxicology tests are being carried out. The senior coroner for Somerset, Tony Williams, formally opened the inquest at Taunton Coroner's Court but none of Iris's family attended the three-minute hearing.
Mr Williams said: 'From the limited information available at this time Iris was driving a left-hand drive all-terrain type vehicle when it turned over for reasons yet to be established. As a result she suffered fatal injuries.
'An interim post mortem report from pathologist Dr Edwin Cooper at Yeovil District Hospital states the cause of death is currently unascertained, pending blood analysis.
He added that toxicology tests are routine in post mortem examinations of accident victims
Iris's heartbroken parents have been liaising with Coroner's officer Simon Dobson and had no objections to today's hearing go ahead without them.
They will meet privately with the coroner in October before a full inquest is held next year.

Ms Rothschild was staying at the country estate when the accident happened.
Mr Goldsmith was playing cricket at Charterhouse School in Godalming, Surrey, when he took a phone call saying she had been injured.
He was only a few minutes into the 96-mile journey home when he learned his precious daughter had been killed.
Paramedics and the crew of an air ambulance tried to save her but Iris was declared dead at the scene.
