UnderAntares: Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you.
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I.
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

RiviasHunter: Beyond the wandering moon, beyond the star
That tracks her night by night.
Somewhere or other, may be far or near;
With just a wall, a hedge, between;
With just the last leaves of the dying year
Fallen on a turf

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. >

Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

paprika_elf: Christina Rossetti is such a top-tier poet.
hipfleminski: I now fully appreciate Christina Rossetti’s use of repetition in the seemingly banal, yet actually desperate, line from In the Bleak Midwinter: “Snow had fallen snow on snow. Snow. On. Snow.”

BritArtScience: Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile

And if thou wilt, forget.

_oneinEMillion_: a f/f YA horror retelling of Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market” is a thing I didn’t know I needed until right now and now I don’t know how I will survive 4 months without it…
jo34534386: Apropos JKR's ridiculously belated mauling over 'her' depiction of goblins: she wasn't the first to be bad faithed searched for anti-Semitic tropes; see (eg) Cynthia Scheinberg's notes on Christina Rossetti
LTKelly84: To resist the urge to just tweet TS Eliott, how about Christina Rossetti's poem Epiphany. As is so often the case with her, the Victorian form comes with an unsentimental interior.

ForwomenScot: Also, poetry. Watch out for Christina Rossetti
One had a cat’s face,
One whisk’d a tail,
One tramp’d at a rat’s pace,
One crawl’d like a snail,
One like a wombat prowl’d obtuse and furry,
One like a ratel tumbled hurry skurry.
cwoodwardpoetry: Christina Rossetti had strong Billie Holiday energy.
