William Rossetti's diary entries:
Wednesday 12 February - Went to see at Christie’s Windus pictures, to be sold in a day or two; Millais’s Isabella, Gabriel’s Lucrezia Borgia etc.
Wednesday 19 February - Gabriel [Rossetti] says that the pictures in Windus’s sale sold badly for the most part. His own Lucrezia Borgia was carried on to £70 (by pre-arrangement with Howell); Fuseli’s Lycidas, £16. 1 6s, and Nightmare [original study for the picture], about £1; two excellent early Inchbolds £12 and £10 or thereabouts. Millais’s Isabella fetched £400, and Wandering Thoughts £100.

Across the sunny main,
And then so sweet his parting smile,
That Hope, who never dreamed of guile,
Believed he’d come again.’
160 “Reason, Folly and Beauty”
“Beauty, who likes to be thought very sage,
Turned for a moment to Reason’s dull page;
Till Folly said,
‘Look here, sweet maid’
The sight of his cap brought her back to herself.” - Moore
161 “Nets and Cages”
“So weak poor Cloe’s nets were wove,
That tho’ she charmed into them
New game each hour, the youngest Love
Was able to break through them.
Meanwhile young Sue, whose cage was wrought
Of bars too strong to sever,
One Love with golden pinions caught,
And caged him there forever.” Moore

“Now rest thee here, my gondolier,
Hush! Hush! for up I go
To climb you light balcony’s heights
While though keep’s watch below” - Moore

A fountain ran darkly beneath;

Love knew it, and jumped at the wreath” - Moore

“Fair Isabel, poor simple Isabel!
Lorenzo, a young palmer in Love’s eye!
They could not in the self-same mansion dwell
Without some stir of heart, some malady;
They could not sit at meals but feel how well
It soothed each to be the other by”
“These brethren having found by many signs
What love Lorenzo for their sister had,
And how she lov’d him too, each unconfines
His bitter thoughts to other, well nigh mad
That he, the servant of their trade designs
Should in their sister’s love be blithe and glad
When ‘twas their plan to coax her by degrees
To some high noble, and his olive trees” - Keats
