This is very unfair, I'm sure, but sometimes I tell people "She's like Emily Dickinson, but with hope". And what a family! One of her biographies mentions that the Rossetti children would have "sonnet races"- pick a subject and see who is fastest and best! <BR/>I think she is sometimes overlooked and considered out of vogue for her devotional poetry, but I love the sweetness of it. <BR/>A favorite: <BR/>Give me the lowest place: not that I dare <BR/>Ask for that lowest place, but Thou hast died <BR/>That I might live and share <BR/>Thy glory by Thy side<BR/><BR/>Give me the lowest place: or if for me<BR/>That lowest place too high, make one more low<BR/>Where I may sit and see<BR/>My God and love Thee so.<BR/><BR/>Forgive the rambling, Denis But I I recommend Kathleen Jones' Learning Not To Be First as a very good Christina Rossetti biography.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the joy.Katy Bowserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014238444466325615noreply@blogger.com
