Christina Rossetti
» Death and Dying » “And all the winds go sighing, for sweet things dying.”
» Death and Dying » “Be the green grass above me, with showers and dewdrops wet; and if thou wilt, remember, and if thou wilt, forget.”
» Dedication » “Obedience is the fruit of faith.”
» Dreams » “I dream of you to wake; would that I might Dream of you and not wake but slumber on…”
» Facts » “I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you’d say, ”Where? What?” and turn away.”
» Family » “For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.”
» Hope » “Hope is like a hairball trembling from its birth…”
» Love » “Love shall be our token; love be yours and love be mine.”
» Nuns » “She gave up beauty in her tender youth, gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways; she covered up her eyes lest they should gaze on vanity, and chose the bitter truth.”
» Wind » “Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.”
» World » “For one man is my world of all the men this wide world holds; O love, my world is you.”
