Lest anyone think I defaced this book with my sketch: the sketch was done on a COPY of the open pages. Some fine day I'll write a commemorative sonnet, rhyming "heights" with "Pre-Raphaelites." Hers was a pioneering, breathtaking sensibility, and I'd love to do her justice in her style. I'm not yet capable, though.
In Memoriam: Christina Rossetti, 1830-1894
