TheAmScho: Listen to Amanda Holmes read Christina Rossetti’s poem “Remember.”
UnderAntares: ‘Ferry me across the Walter
Do, boatman, do.’
‘If you've a penny in your purse
I'll ferry you.’
…
‘Step into my ferry-boat,
Be they black or blue,
And for the penny in your purse
I'll ferry you.’
-Christina Rossetti

Topmember: The Lily Has An Air
The lily has an air,
And the snowdrop a grace,
And the sweetpea a way,
And the heartsease a face, -
Yet there's nothing like the rose
When she blows.

Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand ...
ElizaaDoesalot: I saw the most incredible embroidered bindings today. The peacock binding was embroidered in 1894 and it covers a volume of Christina Rossetti’s poems. The second volume is a history of Charles II and the binding was probably embroidered in the 18th century.
LizStokoe: "There was the scent of a hayfield, the sweetness of dog-roses and honeysuckle, the fragrance of thyme beneath their feet; there were chirpings in the hedges, scattered skylarks in the air, a murmur of waves."
'The Waves of this Troublesome World', Christina Rossetti (1867)

The Flesh
"Sweet, thou art pale."
"More pale to see,
Christ hung upon the cruel tree
And bore His Father's wrath for me."
"Sweet, thou art sad."

More heavy, Christ for my sake trod >

a poem by Christina Rossetti
Something this foggy day, a something which
Is neither of this fog nor of today,
Has set me dreaming of the winds that play
Past certain cliffs, along one certain beach,
And

Come one swallow, his mate will follow,
The bird race quicken and wheel and thicken.

“She dream’d of melons, as a traveller sees False waves in desert drouth With shade of leaf-crown’d trees, And burns the thirstier in the sandful breeze.”

Of labour you shall find the sum.
Will there be beds for me and all who seek?
Yea, beds for all who come.

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

TheCarceri: SPEAK LORD FOR YOUR SERVANT IS LISTENING!
Give us ears that hear, Eyes that see, Wills to obey, Hearts that love, Then declare what You want, Reveal what You want, Command what You want, Change what you want! Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening!

LiteraryVienna: „Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.“
Christina Rossetti
bentalawira: An important and often-quoted literary figure, the English poet Christina Rossetti wrote some of the most voluptuous poet. Like Emily Dickinson, she lived in self-imposed isolation, writing of God and lost love with a sensuality and passion that seemed to emanate from the soul.
BardyMum: Gah, don’t the builders next door know I need to record some poems? Christina Rossetti didn’t have these problems…

Ever since they hit waist high I’ve been eating tomatoes out of my garden with my greedy, inauspicious hands like I’m in a cautionary poem written by Christina Rossetti, and it’s hitting me that in a few months I’ll have to BUY snacks? Like a peasant??

UnderAntares: Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
This poem of Christina Rossetti is achingly beautiful and sad.
ashleyonten: “We must not look at goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?”
Christina Rossetti wrote this in 1859 and I find it more applicable than ever.
PeoplesPedagog1: Anyone care to suggest how to bring Christina Rossetti - not the physical poet - to life with the next batch of year 12??? Do I leave Goblin Market till last again or relent and share that good stuff early on?

For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.

Biagio960: Come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
As sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears,
O memory, hope, love of finished years.

XInannaX: An emerald is as green as grass,
A ruby red as blood;
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;
A flint lies in the mud.
A diamond is a brillant stone,
To catch the world's desire;
An opal holds a fiery spark;
But a flint holds fire.

steinhoff_uwe: I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

RiviasHunter: Color
By Christina Rossetti
What is pink? a rose is pink
By a fountain's brink.
What is red? a poppy's red
In its barley bed.
What is blue? the sky is blue
Where the clouds float thro'.
What is white? a swan is white
Sailing in the light.
What is yellow?>

RiviasHunter: Up-Hill
By Christina Rossetti
Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day’s journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow dark hours begin. >

A broken bowl that cannot hold
One drop of water for my soul
Or cordial in the searching cold;
Cast in the fire the perish’d thing;
Melt and remould it, till it be
A royal cup for Him, my King:
O Jesus, drink of me.”
