5 December 1830 – 29 December 1894
Poet and inspiration.
What I know (and love) best about Christina Rosetti is her poetry/hymnody. She was the model for the figure of Mary in her brother Dante's depiction of the Annunciation. But her poetry...
Hymn 112 (The Hymnal 1982) we sing at Christmas. "In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter, long ago...."
Christina Rossetti was the model for the figure of Mary on the right. Painting by her brother Dante. Ecce Ancilla Domini! (The Anunciation)
Hymnal 1982, #112 "In the bleak midwinter"
