But as the meaning of all things that are.“

Dante Gabriel Rossetti war ein britischer Dichter und Maler, der in beiden Künsten gleichermaßen begabt war. Er war wegen seiner dominierenden und charismatischen Persönlichkeit die treibende Kraft der Präraffaeliten, die die Reform der britischen Kunst als Ziel hatten. Er hielt wenig von Konventionen und wurde in den letzten Lebensjahren ein exzentrischer Sonderling. Wikipedia

Zitate Dante Gabriel Rossetti
The Choice
Kontext: Nay, come up hither. From this wave-wash'd mound
Unto the furthest flood-brim look with me;
Then reach on with thy thought till it be drown'd.
Miles and miles distant though the last line be,
And though thy soul sail leagues and leagues beyond,—
Still, leagues beyond those leagues, there is more sea.
„Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been;
I am also called No-more, Too-late, Farewell.“
— Dante Gabriel Rossetti, The House of Life
A Superscription. Compare: "My name is might have been; my name is never was; my name's forgotten", Courtney Love (with Hole), "Celebrity Skin".

„Think thou and act; to-morrow thou shalt die“
The Choice
Kontext: Think thou and act; to-morrow thou shalt die
Outstretch'd in the sun's warmth upon the shore,
Thou say'st: "Man's measur'd path is all gone o'er:
Up all his years, steeply, with strain and sigh,
Man clomb until he touch'd the truth; and I,
Even I, am he whom it was destin'd for."
How should this be? Art thou then so much more
Than they who sow'd, that thou shouldst reap thereby?
Fragment, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
