Christina Georgina Rossetti - Amor MundiChristina Georgina Rossetti - Amor Mundi
Work rating: Low


`Oh, where are you going with your love-locks flowing  On the west wind blowing along this valley track?` `The downhill path is easy, come with me an` it please ye,  We shall escape the uphill by never turning back.` So they two went together in glowing August weather,  The honey-breathing heather lay to their left and right; And dear she was to doat on, her swift feet seemed to float on  The air like soft twin pigeons too sportive to alight. `Oh, what is that in heaven where grey cloud-flakes are seven,  Where blackest clouds hang riven just at the rainy skirt?` `Oh, that`s a meteor sent us, a message dumb, portentous,—  An undeciphered solemn signal of help or hurt.` `Oh, what is that glides quickly where velvet flowers grow thickly,  Their scent comes rich and sickly?`—`A scaled and hooded worm.` `Oh, what`s that in the hollow, so pale I quake to follow?`  `Oh, that`s a thin dead body which waits th` eternal term.` `Turn again, O my sweetest,—turn again, false and fleetest:  This way whereof thou weetest I fear is hell`s own track.` `Nay, too steep for hill-mounting,—nay, too late for cost-counting:  This downhill path is easy, but there`s no turning back.`
