Beauty like hers is genius.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
I plucked a honeysuckle where The hedge on high is quick with thorn, And climbing for the prize, was torn, And fouled my feet in quag-water And by the thorns and by the wind The blossom that I took was thinn'd, And yet I found it sweet and fair.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
The Wombat is a Joy, a Triumph, a Delight, a Madness!
