Dante Gabriel Rossetti - For An Allegorical Dance Of Women By Andrea Mantegna
Work rating: Low

(In the Louvre) 
       SCARCELY, I think; yet it indeed may be 
            The meaning reached him, when this music rang 
            Clear through his frame, a sweet possessive pang, 
       And he beheld these rocks and that ridged sea. 
       But I believe that, leaning tow`rds them, he 
            Just felt their hair carried across his face 
            As each girl passed him; nor gave ear to trace 
       How many feet; nor bent assuredly 
       His eyes from the blind fixedness of thought 
        To know the dancers. It is bitter glad 
                Even unto tears. Its meaning filleth it, 
                A secret of the wells of Life: to wit:— 
            The heart`s each pulse shall keep the sense it had 
       With all, though the mind`s labour run to nought.
