Rossetti

Famous quotes containing the word rossetti:

    And all the winds go sighing,
    For sweet things dying.

    O love, my love! if I no more should see
    Thyself, nor on the earth the shadow of thee,
    Nor image of thine eyes in any spring,—
    How then should sound upon Life’s darkening slope
    The ground-whirl of the perished leaves of Hope,
    The wind of Death’s imperishable wing?
    —Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

    “Ferry me across the water,
    Do, boatman, do.”
    “If you’ve a penny in your purse
    I’ll ferry you.”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
