A Christina Rossetti Letter

http://cultureandanarchy.wordpress.com/tag/christina-rossetti/


Wombat Sketch by William Michael Rossetti



Ode to a Wombat 
by Dante Gabriel Rossetti
(written while waiting for his mail-order wombat)

O how the family affections combat
Within this heart, and each hour flings a bomb at
My burning soul! Neither from owl nor from bat
Can peace be gained until I clasp my wombat.

Red Lion Square, Bloomsbury


Edward Burne-Jones (1884) - “Cophetua Beggar Maid.”
