WOW!
๐ 'The stars rise, the moon bends her arc, Each glowworm winks her spark' ๐ซ
This verse is from Christina Rossetti's first volume of poetry, โGoblin Market and Other Poemsโ, a haunting fairytale in verse. Christinaโs poems speak in many voices โ tender and fierce, joyful and hopeless, the love between parents and children, and even voices from beyond the grave.
In her lifetime, Christina published 900 poems and became a celebrity with the publishing of the โGoblin Market and Other Poemsโ. Discover Christina Rossettiโs poetry, spoken and written, inside The Rossettis at Tate Britain: https://bit.ly/44uUScH
