Facile fu il ferro
la morbida
mano forasse
traverso il peplo ambrosio che
avevano tessuto le Grazie.
E il sangue immortale della Diva
sprizzò, l'icore

So the Prince was tended with care …
Oh, a moon face in a shadowy place,
And a light touch and a winsome grace

"From the other world I come back to you,
My locks are uncurled with dripping drenching dew.
You know the old, whilst I know the new:
But tomorrow you shall know this too."

‘Her lips began to scorch,
That juice was wormwood to her tongue,
She loath’d the feast:
Writhing as one possess’d she leap’d and sung,
Rent all her robe, and wrung’ Goblin Market,

Dante Gabriel Rossetti, "La Bella Mano".

(Il dipinto rappresenta una personificazione dell'amore: Venere assistita dai suoi assistenti alati. La tela è ricca di dettagli che contribuiscono al tema dell'amore, sia spirituale che terreno, rappresentato nella figura centrale).
