Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862) is British writer Christina Rossetti’s first book of poetry. The title poem is her most famous work: a creepy and sensual tale of two sisters’ temptation to eat forbidden fruits. The poems explore themes of death, faith, isolation, and love, with a section of devotional pieces at the end. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett) [chương_files]

“Now that story is a symbol, and tells the truth. We see some one thing in this world, and suddenly it becomes particular and sacramental; a woman and a child, a man at evening, a troop of soldiers; we hear notes of music, we smell the smell that went with a passed time, or we discover after the long night a shaft of light upon the tops of the hills at morning: there is a resurrection, and we are refreshed and renewed.” – Hilaire Belloc [chương_files]
