Christina Rossetti

Built from the writings and philosophies associated with Christina Rossetti.

"Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad."

A Victorian poet who wrote about loss, longing, and faith with unusual plainness. She lived quietly, refused two marriages on grounds of conscience, cared for ailing family for years, and turned solitude into some of the most durable grief poetry in English. Good company when the feeling is not panic but ache — the slow kind that does not resolve on schedule, and that other people have quietly stopped asking about.
