More quotes by Christina Rossetti
Choose love not in the shallows but in the deep.
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 lilies say: Behold how we Preach without words of purity.
Christina Rossetti
Ah me, but where are now the songs I sang When life was sweet because you call’d them sweet?
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
We must not look at goblin men, We must not buy their fruits: Who knows upon what soil they fed Their hungry thirsty roots?
Christina Rossetti
She cried, Laura, up the garden, Did you miss me? Come and kiss me. Never mind my bruises, Hug me, kiss me, suck my juices Squeezed from goblin fruits for you, Goblin pulp and goblin dew. Eat me, drink me, love me Laura, make much of me For your sake I have braved the glen And had to do with goblin merchant men.
Christina Rossetti
Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun.
Christina Rossetti
The downhill path is easy, but there's no turning back.
Christina Rossetti
Hurt no living thing: Ladybird, nor butterfly, Nor moth with dusty wing.
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
Because the birthday of my life Is come, my love is come to me.
Christina Rossetti
Love shall be our token love be yours and love be mine.
Christina Rossetti
Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
Christina Rossetti
As a tree my sin stands To darken all lands Death is the fruit it bore.
Christina Rossetti
Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love Divine Love was born at Christmas Star and angels gave the sign.
Christina Rossetti
The loves that meet in Paradise shall cast out fear, And Paradise hath room for you and me and all.
Christina Rossetti
Christmas hath a darkness Brighter than the blazing noon Christmas hath a chillness Warmer than the heat of June, Christmas hath a beauty Lovelier than the world can show: For Christmas bringeth Jesus, Brought for us so low
Christina Rossetti
Spring bursts today, For love is risen and all the earth's at play.
Christina Rossetti
And may you happy live, And long us bless.
Christina Rossetti
