Tu che nell'ora di Amore estaticamente
sempre presenti al mio cuore
-ravvolto nel suo fuoco-
il tuo cuore
Tu,che in silenzio lo hai posseduto
e hai unito la tua e la mia vita
mormorando:"Io sono tua,e tu sei
uno con me"...

Dante G. Rossetti a

The artist Zoya's permutation of Ophelia on the right, the original on the left, used pinks+reds to highlight Lizzie Siddal's beauty. The incorporation of Sakura is a nod to the artist's appreciation for Japanese culture+aesthetics.

In ‘Sir Patrick Spens’, women’s collective experience of watching and yearning, is the theme artist and poet Elizabeth Siddal chose.

I admire Siddal’s genius in evoking this turmoil, in the naive, medieval style that is her signature.

My five Pre-Raphaelite muses are Jane Morris, Elizabeth Siddal, Christina Rossetti, Maria Zambaco and Marie Spartali Stillman. They were models and muses, collaborators, artists, writers and poets. (I was going to say Fanny Eaton but wonderfully she has already been chosen).

Lizzie Siddal Emerges from the Ghostly Mist: It would have been a perfect plot for a 1960s Hammer horror film: on the death of his wife, a poet places a treasured manuscript of his poems in her casket. https://t.co/A765pmQT8J / via
