Pre-Raphaelite Dove Advent Calendar 23

Bird or Beast?

Did any bird come flying

After Adam and Eve,

When the door was shut against them

And they sat down to grieve?

I think not Eve's peacock

Splendid to see,

And I think not Adam's eagle;

But a dove may be.

Did any beast come pushing

Through the thorny hedge

Into the thorny thistly world,

Out from Eden's edge?

I think not a lion,

Though his strength is such;

But an innocent loving lamb

May have done as much.

If the dove preached from her bough

and the lamb from his sod,

The lamb and dove

Were preachers sent from God.

- Christina Rossetti

Pre-Raphaelite Dove Advent Calendar 19

Draw close the curtains

Of branched evergreen;

Change cannot touch them

With fading fingers sere:

Here the first violets

Perhaps will bud unseen,

And a dove, maybe,

Return to nestle here. - Extract from Dream-Love by Christina Rossetti
