‘Oh whence do you come, my dear friend, to me
With your golden hair all fallen below your knee
And your face as white as snowdrops on the lea
And your voice as hollow as the hollow sea?’ The Poor Ghost, Christina Rossetti. 🖼️ Aksel Johannessen, c.1920.

Tu fai i giovani vecchi e vecchi i giovani
scaldi i freddi e raffreddi i caldi,
nello scherzo sei seria e della serietá ti burli.
A te diede un dio grazioso il diritto
Da tempo affermato sul genere umano
Di mutare il male in bene,e il bene in male.

Goethe

🖌D.Gabriel Rossetti

'O Lady Moon, your horns point toward the east:
Shine, be increased;
O Lady Moon, your horns point toward the west:
Wane, be at rest.'
