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.

„Sometimes thou seem'st not as thyself alone,
„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.“
— Dante Gabriel Rossetti
The Choice, Context: 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.

„Tell me now in what hidden way is
Lady Flora the lovely Roman?
Where's Hipparchia, and where is Thais,
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 yester-year?“

„From the fix'd place of Heaven she saw
Time like a pulse shake fierce
Through all the worlds. Her gaze still strove
Within the gulf to pierce
Its path; and now she spoke as when
The stars sang in their spheres.“

„Eat thou and drink; to-morrow thou shalt die.
Surely the earth, that's wise being very old,
Needs not our help. Then loose me, love, and hold
Thy sultry hair up from my face; that I
May pour for thee this golden wine, brim-high,
Till round the glass thy fingers glow like gold.
We'll drown all hours: thy song, while hours are toll'd,
Shall leap, as fountains veil the changing sky.“
— Dante Gabriel Rossetti

„Each hour until we meet is as a bird
That wings from far his gradual way along
The rustling covert of my soul.“
