THE P.R.B.: 1 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE TWO ROSSETTIS (BROTHERS THEY)
Last Line: * * * * * * *
Subject(s): MILLAIS, SIR JOHN E. (1829-1896); PRE-RAPHAELITES; ROSSETTI, DANTE GABRIEL (1828-1882); ROSSETTI, WILLIAM MICHAEL (1829-1919); WOOLNER, THOMAS (1825-1892);
The two Rossettis (brothers they)
And Holman Hunt and John Millais,
With Stephens chivalrous and bland,
And Woolner in a distant land,
In these six men I awestruck see
Embodied the great P.R.B.
D. G. Rossetti offered two
Good pictures to the public view:
Unnumbered ones great John Millais,
And Holman more than I can say
* * * * * * *
William Rossetti calm and solemn
Cuts up his brethren by the column.
