And heart-strung lyre awoke the Moon’s eclipse'

At length their long kiss severed, with sweet smart:

... yet still their mouths, burnt red,
Fawned on each other where they lay apart.

"Nuptial Sleep": (1828-82)

St George has just slain the dragon & won the hand of Princess Sabra. Jane Burden, who went on to marry William Morris, was Rossetti’s model. His intense attraction to Jane, while he was involved with Lizzie Sidall, is a powerful subtext here.

Lilith was Adam’s first wife, created as an equal out of the same clay. Medieval texts have it that she refused to lie under Adam, & left the garden of Eden, refusing to return, to become the ultimate she-demon, capable of unspeakable evil.
