The Day-Dream

Painting and poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, in the V & A Museum, London.

The thronged boughs of the shadowy sycamore Still bear young leaflets half the summer through; From when the robin 'gainst the unhidden blue Perched dark, till now, deep in the leafy core, The embowered throstle's urgent wood-notes soar Through summer silence. Still the leaves come new; Yet never rosy-sheathed as those which drew Their spiral tongues from spring-buds heretofore.

Within the branching shade of Reverie Dreams even may spring till autumn; yet none be Like woman's budding day-dream spirit-fann'd. Lo! tow'rd deep skies, not deeper than her look, She dreams; till now on her forgotten book Drops the forgotten blossom from her hand.

154 years ago today, Top the wombat passed away. He was the short-lived though much loved pet of the artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti who, upon Top's passing, created this self-portrait in mourning with the accompanying verse:

I never reared a young wombat

To glad me with his pin-hole eye,

But when he most was sweet and fat

And tailless, he was sure to die!

More on Rossetti and company’s curious but longstanding fixation with the furry oddity that is the wombat ��� which they considered the “most beautiful of God’s creatures” — in our essay by Angus Trumble: https://buff.ly/2MA5As0
