SongWhen I am dead, my dearest,Sing no sad songs for me;Plant thou no roses at my head,Nor shady cypress tree:Be the green grass above meWith showers and dewdrops wet;And if thou wilt, remember,And if thou wilt, forget.I shall not see the shadows,I shall not feel the rain;I shall not hear the nightingaleSing on, as if in pain:And dreaming through the twilightThat doth not rise nor set,Haply I may remember,And haply may forget.Goblin Market is one of the most, in turns, enchanting, horrifying, beautiful, and fantastical pieces I have ever read!Goblin Market - 5/5 starsDream Land - 4.5/5 starsSong - 5/5 starsAn End - 4.5/5 starsA Pause of Thought - 3/5 starsSweet Death - 4/5 starsA Birthday - 3/5 starsBabylon the Great - 5/5 starsOn Keats - 5/5 starsIn an Artists Studio - 5/5 starsThe Queen of Hearts - 4.5/5 starsA Christmas Carol - 5/5 starsAn Old-World Thicket - 3/5 starsSpring Quiet - 3.5/5 starsUp-Hill - 4/5 stars
This poem was a ton of fun! I especially liked the part where the nubile young woman sucks nectar off her sister's neck. I was all, "Aw yeah! High five!" But I was alone, so I had to high five myself. It's less depressing than it sounds. No it's not.It's a weird, wicked poem. The meter and rhyme scheme are schizophrenic; I tried to track it for a while, but you actually can't. Rosetti has no intention of being consistent. That adds to the creepy feel of the poem, as you're constantly off
Who would ever have dared to guess that 'fruit talk' could be so very suggestive of so many varied things! Wow! Q:One had a cats face,One whiskd a tail,One trampd at a rats pace,One crawld like a snail, (c)Q:Dear, you should not stay so late,Twilight is not good for maidens;Should not loiter in the glen 145In the haunts of goblin men.Do you not remember Jeanie,How she met them in the moonlight,Took their gifts both choice and many,Ate their fruits and wore their flowers 150Pluckd from bowers

If this were written in modern times, it probably wouldn't be a huge hit. But Goblin Market was written in the 1800s, and, for its time, flipped the art community on its head. Christina's brother painted some really dark art to go along with her poem, and the combined poem and book hugely impacted the art of the day. Pretty cool! Way to go, Christina!I'd rate this book a PG.
Christina "When I Am Dead My Dearest Sing No Sad Songs For Me" Rossetti was born in London on 5 December 1830. Four days from now, or on 29 December 2013, it'll be her 129th death anniversary. Like Kate Chopin whose short stories I've been reading, Christina Rossetti was probably a very horny woman but whose sexuality was repressed because of the social milieu she lived in. She was also deeply pious, as she called off two engagements to two different men on religious grounds.Like Chopin,
