Rossetti

Famous quotes containing the word rossetti:

    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 eats bread and cheese;—
    The garden mouse eats what he can;
    We will not grudge him seeds and stocks,
    Poor little timid furry man.
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth.
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
