Rossetti

Famous quotes containing the word rossetti:

    The irresponsive silence of the land,
    The irresponsive sounding of the sea,
    Speak both one message of one sense to me:—
    ‘Aloof, aloof, we stand aloof,
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    Remember me when I am gone away,
    Gone far away into the silent land;
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    What are heavy? Sea-sand and sorrow;
    What are brief? Today and tomorrow;
    What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;
    What are deep? The ocean and truth.
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
