Lovesight by Dante Gabriel Rossetti |
When do I see thee most, beloved one?
...When in the light the spirits of mine eyes
...Before thy face, their altar, solemnize
The worship of that Love through thee made known?
Or when in the dusk hours (we two alone,)
...Close-kissed and eloquent of still replies
...Thy twilight-hidden glimmering visage lies,
And my soul only sees thy soul its own? O love, my love! if I no more should see
Thyself, nor on the earth the shadow of thee,
...Nor image of thine eyes in any spring,--
How then should sound upon Life's darkening slope
The ground-whirl of the perished leaves of Hope,
...The wind of Death's imperishable wing? .....Lovesight by Dante Gabriel Rossetti

| Archived Love Quote:
MAIDEN, n. A young person of the unfair sex addicted to clewless conduct and views that madden to crime. The genus has a wide geographical distribution, being found wherever sought and deplored wherever found. The maiden is not altogether unpleasing to the eye, nor (without her piano and her views) insupportable to the ear, though in respect to comeliness distinctly inferior to the rainbow, and, with regard to the part of her that is audible, bleating out of the field by the canary -- which, also, is more portable..... Ambrose Bierce "The Devil's Dictionary",
