Description: The lyrics of Three Siddal Poems come from the English Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal Rossetti (1829-1862). She was introduced as a model at the age of 20 and became a source of inspiration to several painters. Siddal received an artistic education and was active in different fields: literature, drawing, painting  and writing poetry. In 1860 she married Dante Rossetti. A year into the marriage, she gave birth to a stillborn daughter. She sank into a depression and became addicted to the opiate laudanum. She died from an overdose.
