Dante Gabriel Rossetti - For A Virgin And Child By Hans MemmelinckDante Gabriel Rossetti - For A Virgin And Child By Hans Memmelinck
Work rating: Low


(In the Academy of Bruges)       MYSTERY: God, man`s life, born into man            Of woman. There abideth on her brow            The ended pang of knowledge, the which now       Is calm assured. Since first her task began       She hath known all. What more of anguish than            Endurance oft hath lived through, the whole space            Through night till day, passed weak upon her face       While the heard lapse of darkness slowly ran?       All hath been told her touching her dear Son,        And all shall be accomplished. Where He sits                Even now, a babe, He holds the symbol fruit            Perfect and chosen. Until God permits,                His soul`s elect still have the absolute       Harsh nether darkness, and make painful moan.
