Christina Eossetti.

Foremost among living poets stands
Christina Rossetti Her fervid genius
finds expression IN lyrics of surprising
sweetness and soHncts admirable in form,
in ballads where The supernatural is treat
ed with eerie simplicity. Tbs delicacy of
her touch is as re- l::rka BILE as is the passion
of her soulfelt music. 1t creates an illu-
sive atmosphere we'll suited to such vision
airy ballads as the Goblin Market" THE
Princes Progress" tie Pageant" and
which is part OF she spell woven by one
who comes to us tom Greenland. Led by
a Single Star" Death, the transient ma
ture of love and Joy are the motives of
many of her sweetest lyrics. Christina
Rossetti, in an age when doubt chills many
a woman's heart, has reached to a height
of spiritual vision from which she looks
To where the sunshine sleeps
On the everlasting hills.
OF late years her writings have been al
most altogether of heavenly things. We
must not omit to mer ton her delightful
nursery rhyme book, 'Sing-Song" Miss
Rossetti's first poems appeared in The
Germ, the organ of the pre-Raphaelite
movement, of which Dante Rossetti was
one of the leaders. She wrote in it's columns
under the pseudonym of Ellen Alleyn.
