Dante Gabriel Rossetti

“

Tell me now in what hidden way is
Lady Flora the lovely Roman?
Where’s Hipparchia, and where is Thaïs,
Neither of them the fairer woman.
Where is Echo, beheld of no man
Only heard on river and mere—
She whose beauty was more than human?…
But where are the snows of yesteryear?

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

“

I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell;
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

“

A sonnet is a moment’s monument—
Memorial from the soul’s eternity
To one dead deathless hour.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

“

When vain desire at last, and vain regret
Go hand in hand to death, and all is vain,
What shall assuage the unforgotten pain
And teach the unforgetful to forget?

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

“

The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

“

My name is Might-have-been;
I am also called No-more, Too-late, Farewell.
