More quotes by 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

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Unto the man of yearning thought And aspiration, to do nought Is in itself almost an act.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Dante Gabriel Rossetti
The sea hath no king but God alone.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
You have been mine before - How long ago I may not know: But just when at that swallow's soar, your neck turned so, Some veil did fall, - I knew it all of yore.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
It is beautiful, the world, and life itself. I am glad I have lived.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Love is the last relay and ultimate outposts of eternity.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
If God in his wisdom have brought closeThe day when I must die,That day by water or fire or airMy feet shall fall in the destined snareWherever my road may lie.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Beauty like hers is genius.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
