Christina Rossetti Quotes About Darkness

Quotes about: Darkness

• Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterward remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

  "Remember" l. 13 (1862)

• Christmas hath a darkness;
  Brighter than the blazing noon;
  Christmas hath a chillness
  Warmer than the heat of June,
  Christmas hath a beauty
  Lovelier than the world can show:
  For Christmas bringeth Jesus,
  Brought for us so low

• Yet if you should forget me for a while
  And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
  For if the darkness and corruption leave
  A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
  Better by far you should forget and smile
  Than that you should remember and be sad.
