Opened her flower-blue eyes, and looked in his.
Then all things felt life fluttering at their core—
The world shook mystical in lambent bliss.

greenmancider: Blossom of the apple trees!
Mossy trunks all gnarled and hoary,
Grey boughs tipped with rose-veined glory,
Clustered petals soft as fleece
Garlanding old apple trees!
(Mathilde Blind)
shelleyscholar: Shelleyan 18: William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919) was one of the poet's best editors and advocates, a man of remarkable energy and generosity: 'Called on Mathilde Blind, and left her some Shelley books she wants in the compilation of her Shelley Selection for Tauchnitz'.

The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."

ChawtonHouse: We know many of their stories well today, but imagine writing a biography in the Victorian era: how would you pierce through sanitised family narratives? What sources could you use? Mathilde Blind begins her biography of George Eliot by addressing these problems.

CailinCeltic: Then like a flame the crescent moon on high
Leaped forth among the planets; pure as they,
Earth vied in whiteness with the Milky Way:
Herself a star beneath the starry sky.

My fleeting self from thine,
Thy thought will live for ever
And ever grow in mine.

MiguelCalabria3: Borne hither when Christ's Sepulchre was won,
And planted by hoar Warwick's feudal walls,
You grew,o'ershadowing every rival stem.
When English woods don May's fresh coronals,
Say,-Mourn ye still lost Jerusalem,
Funeral trees-beloved of Lebanon?
-Mathilde Blind

CailinCeltic: And you waned in waning smoke,
As the rain was falling.
Had the cuckoo called Adieu,
Ere the day was breaking?
All the old wounds bled anew
Between sleep and waking.

Callow thoughts that thrill my breast!
Can the lark of love be winging
Back to its abandoned nest?

LoveCarousel: Once We Played by Mathilde Blind
CailinCeltic: Lapped in illimitable light,
The woods and waters seemed to swoon,
And clouds like angels-winged the night
And slipped away into the Moon,
Lost in that radiant flame above
As we were lapped and lost in love.
A White Night -- Mathilde Blind

CailinCeltic: I probe the deep recesses of thy mind
Without control,
And in its inmost labyrinth I find
My own lost soul.
No longer like an exile on the earth
I wildly roam,
I was thy double from the hour of birth
And thou my home.
I Think Of Thee In Watches Of The Night - Mathilde Blind

Deep at the red heart's smouldering core;
With the sudden passionate throb of yore
We shook as our eyes and clinging fingers
Met once only to meet no more.

Because his heart hath entered rest.

Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers

michinsaekki: And between shower and shine hath birth
The rainbow's evanescent glory;
Heaven's light that breaks on mists of earth!
Frail symbol of our human story,
It flowers through showers where, looming hoary,
The rain-clouds flash with April mirth,
Like Life on earth.
— Mathilde Blind.
