Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Sonnet VI: The KissDante Gabriel Rossetti - Sonnet VI: The Kiss
Work rating: Low


What smouldering senses in death`s sick delay Or seizure of malign vicissitude Can rob this body of honour, or denude This soul of wedding-raiment worn to-day? For lo! even now my lady`s lips did play With these my lips such consonant interlude As laurelled Orpheus longed for when he wooed The half-drawn hungering face with that last lay. I was a child beneath her touch,—a man When breast to breast we clung, even I and she,— A spirit when her spirit looked through me,— A god when all our life-breath met to fan Our life-blood, till love`s emulous ardours ran, Fire within fire, desire in deity.
