The Old Letters. “I looked for that which is not, nor can be, etc.” - Christina Rossetti (1865). Marcus Stone, R.A. (English, 1840-1921). Oil on canvas.I looked for that which is not, nor can be,And hope deferred made my heart sick in truth:But years must pass before a hope of youthIs resigned utterly.I watched and waited with a steadfast will:And though the object seemed to flee awayThat I so longed for, ever day by dayI watched and waited still. -- source link
