Book Description
Excerpt from The Blessed Damozel He remarked that, out of his love of it while still a boy, his own Blessed Damozel originated. 'i saw, ' he said, 'that Poe had done the utmost it was possible to do with the grief of the lover on earth; and so I determined to reverse the conditions, and give utterance to the yearning of the loved one in heaven. The term here, while still a boy, should be understood with a certain reservation. Toe Raven was first published in America on 29th January 1 845, and Rossetti had probably entered upon his eighteenth year before he saw it. I can still recollect his bringing home some cheap English magazine containing a reprint of the poem, and the zest with which, having already perused it, he re-read it over and over again to the family.
