Christina Georgina Rossetti

“Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end.”

“Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.”

“My heart is like a singing bird whose nest is in a watered shoot.”

“Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land.”

“Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love Divine.”

“Beauty is but skin deep, ugly lies the bone; beauty dies and fades away, but ugly holds its own.”

“A hart can cry when chased out of the brake, but the tortoise humps his shell and saves his own.”

“For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather.”

“Silence is more musical than any song.”

“We must not look at goblin men, We must not buy their fruits.”

“Hurt no living thing: Ladybird, nor butterfly, Nor moth with dusty wing.”

“Can anything be sadder than a train that leaves when it's supposed to, and arrives when it's scheduled to?”

“What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow; What are brief? today and tomorrow.”

“I have no wit, no words, no tears; My heart within me like a stone Is numb'd too much for hopes or fears.”

“What is pink? a rose is pink by the fountain's brink.”

“One face looks out from all his canvases.”
