Rossetti

Famous quotes containing the word rossetti:

    Hush’d in and curtain’d with a blessed dearth
    Of all that irk’d her from the hour of birth;
    With stillness that is almost Paradise.
    Darkness more clear than noonday holdeth her,
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    Spring’s an expansive time: yet I don’t trust
    March with its peck of dust,
    Nor April with its rainbow-crowned brief showers,
    Nor even May, whose flowers
    One frost may wither thro’ the sunless hours.
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    The city mouse lives in a house;—
    The garden mouse lives in a bower,
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
