It was very lovely. Then she had an hour to herself, and since the rain wouldn't permit her to spend it in the summerhouse, she took a book up to her own room. It was a book of poems from the Public Library. The first poem she opened to was one of the most marvellous things she had ever read almost as wonderful as "The Blessed Damozel."
"I am trying to banish it by contemplating the Blessed Damozel," she said, and quoted whisperingly: "'The Blessed Damozel leaned out From the gold bar of Heaven; Her eyes were deeper than the depth Of waters stilled at even; She had three lilies in her hand, And the stars in her hair were seven."
Jenny may, seem to stand in vivid contradiction of this. But Jenny was an exceptional excursion into life, and hardly expresses the Rossetti that was a power in art and literature. Him we find best, perhaps, in The Blessed Damozel, written when he was little more than a boy.
Fisher, with even greater frostiness than that with which she had received Lady Caroline's ignorance of the Blessed Damozel, said, "There is only one unoccupied bedroom in this house." "Only one?" echoed Mrs. Wilkins, astonished. "Then who are in all the others?" "We are," said Mrs. Fisher. "But we're not in all the bedrooms. There must be at least six.
Like Rossetti's 'Blessed Damozel, they look out from the gold bar of heaven with eyes from which the wonder is not yet gone. One of the best Pre-Raphaelite landscapes is the 'Strayed Sheep' of Holman Hunt.
Yet the movement owed much to both his brush and his pen of other and nobler, because reverential, work, as those will admit who know "The Blessed Damozel," "Sister Helen," and his fine collection of sonnets, "The House of Life," as well as his famous paintings, "The Girlhood of Mary Virgin," and his Annunciation picture, "Ecce Ancilla Domini."
Sir, of your valliance you should have held to your good vow, quoth the damozel, for now you see me sore perplexed and that you did not your devoir is my affliction. Where lingers chivalry, she should have proceeded, if not with my knight? I feast on your regrets.
She surveyed it critically: the "Mona Lisa," the large "Melrose Abbey," the Burne-Jones draperies, and the "Blessed Damozel" that spread a placid if monotonous culture through the rooms of educated single women.
He was a leader in the Pre-Raphaelite movement and published in the first numbers of The Germ his "Hand and Soul," a delicate prose study, and his famous "The Blessed Damozel," beginning, The blessed damozel leaned out From the gold bar of Heaven; Her eyes were deeper than the depth Of waters stilled at even; She had three lilies in her hand, And the stars in her hair were seven.
The Blessed Damozel leaned out, she was eight years old she said! Lord Lovel stood at his castle gate, whence all but him had fled. "Rise up, rise up, Xarifa! Only three grains of corn! Stay, Lady, stay! for mercy's sake! and wind the bugle horn. The glittering knife descends descends Hark, hark, the foeman's cry! The world is all a fleeting show! Said Gilpin, 'So am I!
