Quotes by Christina Rossetti

"What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow.What are brief? today and tomorrow.What are frail? spring blossoms and youth.What are deep? the ocean and truth."
"Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth."
"Fair as the moon and joyful as the light;Tot wan with waiting, not with sorrow dim; Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright;Not as she is, but as she fills his dreams."
"Love shall be our token; love be yours and love be mine."
