More quotes by Christina Rossetti
Not as she is, but as she fills his dream
Christina Rossetti
Hurt no living thing: Ladybird, nor butterfly, Nor moth with dusty wing.
Christina Rossetti
The rose saith in the dewy morn, I am most fair Yet all my loveliness is born Upon a thorn.
Christina Rossetti
Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end.
Christina Rossetti
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.
Christina 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 Rossetti
What is green? The grass is green, With small flowers between. What is violet? Clouds are violet In the summer twilight. What is orange? Why, an orange, Just an orange!
Christina Rossetti
Oh roses for the flush of youth, And laurel for the perfect prime But pluck an ivy branch for me Grown old before my time.
Christina Rossetti
When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me
Christina Rossetti
I wish I could remember the first day, First hour, first moment of your meeting me If bright or dim the season it might be Summer or winter for aught I can say. So, unrecorded did it slip away, So blind was i to see and to forsee, So dull to mark the budding of my tree That would not blossom, yet, for many a May.
Christina Rossetti
All earth's full rivers can not fillThe sea that drinking thirsteth still.
Christina Rossetti
Consider The lilies of the field whose bloom is brief:-- We are as they Like them we fade away As doth a leaf.
Christina Rossetti
To me it seems our duty towards the Bible is to obey its teaching in faith. I do not think we are bound to understand or account for all its utterances.
Christina Rossetti
The Bourne Underneath the growing grass, Underneath the living flowers, Deeper than the sound of showers: There we shall not count the hours By the shadows as they pass. Youth and health will be but vain, Beauty reckoned of no worth: There a very little girth Can hold round what once the earth Seemed too narrow to contain.
Christina Rossetti
And may you happy live, And long us bless.
Christina Rossetti
It is not the deed we do Though the deed be never so fair, But the love that the dear Lord looketh for, Hidden with lovely care In the heart of the deed so fair.
Christina Rossetti
What is pink? A rose is pink By the fountain's brink.
Christina Rossetti
Spring is when life's alive in everything.
Christina Rossetti
The downhill path is easy, but there's no turning back.
Christina Rossetti
To her whose heart is my heart's quiet home, To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome.
Christina Rossetti
