Page 28 - At present, and the greatest part of the summer, I shall be engaged in painting pictures from the divine lady : I cannot give her any other epithet, for I think her superior to all womankind. I have two pictures to paint of her for the Prince of Wales. She says, she must see you before she leaves England, which will be in the beginning of September. She asked me if you would not write my life ; I told her you had begun it : then, she said, she hoped you...
Page 473 - I think readers will say that, whatever else Dante Rossetti may have been, he was a quick-blooded, downrightspeaking man, with plenty of will and an abundant lack of humbug. People who take an interest in him may depend upon it that the more they learn about him — of an authentic kind — the more will the masculine traits of his character appear in evidence, and the less will room be left for the notion of a pallid and anaemic " aesthete," a candidate for the sunflowers of a Du Maurier design....
Page 433 - ... that painting must be before all things decorative, a thing for the eye, a space of colour on the wall, only more dexterously blent than the marking of its precious stone or the chance interchange of sun and shade upon it — this, to begin and end with — whatever higher matter of thought, or poetry, or religious reverie might play its part therein, between.
Page 334 - Let me see how we can combine in the matter. You will not be able to have an engraving made from so large a canvas. Suppose I paint you a small one of the same subject, of which I will make you a present.
Page 479 - ... respect, Profound simplicity of intellect, And supreme patience. From her mother's knee Faithful and hopeful; wise in charity; Strong in grave peace; in pity circumspect. So held she through her girlhood; as it were An angel-watered lily, that near God Grows and is quiet.
