"Bread and milk for breakfast,
And woollen frocks to wear,
And a crumb for robin redbreast,
On the cold days of the year."

Can you spot what isn’t different?
Rossetti clearly loved this spiral hair ornament and gave it different models to wear. Apparently it was last seen when borrowed by blackmailer Charles Howell’s wife who never returned it….

T’amo come la pianta che non fiorisce e reca
Dentro di sé nascosta la luce di quei fiori;
grazie al tuo amore vive oscuro nel mio corpo
il concentrato amore che ascese dalla terra
