Dante Gabriel Rossetti was a painter and a poet. His poetry was influenced by Keats, but it was also influenced by Dante (whom he translated):SOUL'S BEAUTY
Under the arch of Life, where love and death,
Terror and mystery, guard her shrine, I saw
Beauty enthroned; and though her gaze struck awe,
I drew it in as simply as my breath.
Hers are the eyes which, over and beneath,
The sky and sea bend on thee,--which can draw,
By sea or sky or woman, to one law,
The allotted bondman of her palm and wreath.
This is that Lady Beauty, in whose praise
Thy voice and hand shake still,--long known to thee
By flying hair and fluttering hem,--the beat
Following her daily of thy heart and feet,
How passionately and irretrievably,
In what fond flight, how many ways and days!
My first impression of these sonnets was that their blend of spirituality and sensuality was particularly 'decadent,' but this as it turns out, is one phase of the lover's pilgrimage, as it were, and the sonnet sequence has its own movement, like a sonnet, with the second part going into depths only glanced at in the first.
Note: the free Kindle version is, despite one review, very well-formatted, and I noticed only one word dropped out of one poem.

The House of Life A SonnetSequence Dante Gabriel Rossetti 9781294532477 Books Reviews
Rosetti is amazing, however the quality of this printing is very poor. The print is too small for the page it's on. I could have done better with my printer.
Beautiful poems in a style unknown to modern poetry. Most certainly worth a read.
I guess I don't have as much interest in ancient poetry as I thought I had.
There are readable versions of this work also available for free in various forms at various websites across the Internet. The poems are not lineated here. 'Nuff said.
I love everything about this. The second I opened it, I was blown away by how simple yet absolutely gorgeous it was. Rossetti was and still is a brilliant poet, and every word in this small book is perfect. Highly recommended for ANY Rossetti, Pre-Raphaelite, or just plain poetry lover. Though some enjoy online versions, I personally like reading with an actual book in my hands, and I get that pleasure from this book.
