My heart is like a singing bird

Whose nest is in a water'd shoot;

My heart is like an apple-tree

Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit;

My heart is like a rainbow shell

That paddles in a halcyon sea;

My heart is gladder than all these,

Because my love is come to me.

Raise me a daïs of silk and down;

Hang it with vair and purple dyes;

Carve it in doves and pomegranates,

And peacocks with a hundred eyes;

Work it in gold and silver grapes,

In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;

Because the birthday of my life

Is come, my love is come to me.

("A Birthday", by Christina Rosetti)

5th December 1791, death of the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at the age of 35, resulting in rumours that he was poisoned by his rival Antonio Salieri that were published in a Berlin newspaper. These rumours were false, and in fact Mozart and Salieri were mutually respectful of one another; with Salieri teaching Mozart's younger son Franz Xaver Mozart. To this day there is no actual known cause of death, with historians and researchers suggesting scores of medical theories. On the same day in 1830, Hector Berlioz' ‘Symphonique Fantastique’ premieres in Paris; telling the story of an artist gifted with a lively imagination who has poisoned himself with opium in the depths of despair and hopelessness. Further, on the same day and year, the English poet Christina Rossetti, author of Goblin Market is born. Her brother the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rosetti ironically died in a manner straight out of Belioz’s work, through drug addiction to chloral hydrate; after suffering the grief of the death of his wife Elizabeth Siddal by opium addiction. Their uncle, the author of ‘The Vampyre’ John William Polidori, can also be seen to follow this pattern after he killed himself by cyanide in 1821. Mozart, Berlioz, Rosetti, and Polidori were all versed in the themes of the gothic and supernatural, begun in the 18th century, and these themes can be seen in Mozart's Fantasias in C minor, Berlioz' "Symphonique Fantastique", Rossetti’s, ‘Goblin Market’, and of course Polidori in ‘The Vampyre’, the first modern Vampire story.

When I think of you

And when I think of you,

Of autumn leaves

And calm seas,

Perfect petals

A light breeze,

Of opening a book I cannot wait to read,

Of the first sip of tea

In the afternoon heat,

Of canal boats smoothly drifting along,

And the laughter of a small child,

Who can do no wrong,

Of the most beautiful rose you ever did see,

The most charming scent

Rises up to greet me,

Of oceans wide and oceans deep,

Of big vast caves

Where bats do sleep,

Where calmness and belonging are one in the same,

And dream catchers carry you through into peace,

Where the feathers of a swan are brilliantly white

You are perfect

In effortless light.

I never said I loved you, John:        Why will you tease me, day by day, And wax a weariness to think upon        With always "do" and "pray"?

You know I never loved you, John;        No fault of mine made me your toast: Why will you haunt me with a face as wan        As shows an hour-old ghost?  

I dare say Meg or Moll would take        Pity upon you, if you'd ask: And pray don't remain single for my sake        Who can't perform that task.

I have no heart?--Perhaps I have not;        But then you're mad to take offence That I don't give you what I have not got:        Use your own common sense. Let bygones be bygones:        Don't call me false, who owed not to be true: I'd rather answer "No" to fifty Johns        Than answer "Yes" to you. Let's mar our pleasant days no more,        Song-birds of passage, days of youth: Catch at to-day, forget the days before:        I'll wink at your untruth. Let us strike hands as hearty friends;        No more, no less: and friendship's good: Only don't keep in view ulterior ends,        And points not understood In open treaty. Rise above        Quibbles and shuffling off and on: Here's friendship for you if you like; but love,--        No, thank you, John.

The first finished double page spread for my Goblin Market illustration project! These are based off of the poem “Goblin Market” by Christina Rossetti. I’ll be posting the poem itself in a separate post but here’s a summary for this scene: Two sisters walking in the woods hear the calls of Goblins to buy their perfect fruits. The older sister knows the fruits are dangerous and begs her sister to leave them, but the younger sister doesn’t listen and enjoys many of the fruit they have to offer. . . . Done in gouache, ink, colored pencil on 20x30 illustration board. . . . #art #illustration #illustrator #bookillustration #gouache #picturebook #poem #traditionalart #ink #paint #painting #drawing #victorianera #victorian #girls #coloredpencil #femaleartists #femalewriters #magic #goblins #goblin #fruit #goblinmarket #bookspread #doublepagespread #christinarosetti https://www.instagram.com/p/BxvV8OXF6wq/?igshid=1lpq3elpeeaoi

Somewhere or other there must surely be The face not seen, the voice not heard, The #heart that not yet—never yet—ah me! Made answer to my word. Somewhere or other, may be near or far; Past land and sea, clean out of sight; Beyond the wandering moon, beyond the star That tracks her night by night. Somewhere or other, may be far or near; With just a wall, a hedge, between; With just the last leaves of the dying year Fallen on a turf grown green. 🌸 Words by #ChristinaRosetti 🍃 Lovely @tis_sie

Careful does it,

Nice and slow,

Don't pull your hand away,

I know,

I know,

Step away from the poison

The deadly eyes;

They only want your looks,

That's no surprise,

Take off those glasses

You tinted rose,

All is not as it seems

In the garden you chose,

Peel back the fruits of a rotting tree,

Bare knowledge to the fact

He does not care for thee,

The only quandary in question if so,

When the next drink shall be tasted

Too slow

He's caught the net,

Your arms wide open

Falling,

Trapped -

A fly in the web you will not flee

A sweet little bird

In between lions teeth,

Lick you up and spit you out,

Run faster than you ever knew,

Get away from this cowardly fool,

Away into the night,

Away into the dark,

Away

Away far

Away from your heart,

For that place so precious,

So pure in fact,

So strong and robust,

No nails could scratch,

Find a glass box,

Put it there and keep it,

Guard yourself with an iron sword

And swipe it,

Repeated

Down into the chest of the bellowing evil,

The one who taunts

Who tricks

Believes you are stupid,

Manipulates the time

The way of thoughts imposed,

Finds funny and fickle

When the situation arose,

You tripped

You fell

He laughed,

Do not dwell

Strike down the power

Like glory to God,

Lift away the curse

That had you so lost,

Let the blood drain down

Deep into the dust,

Impervious to thee,

A kingdom now found,

You are the conquerer

And now

You are crowned.
