The Gallery of Gothic Princesses

I. On the right is Emily Bronte, Bard of Yorkshire moor— Her talented, tormented family Wrote novels which still endure. II. On the left’s Christina Rossetti, Who chastely did refuse The goblin’s fruit of ecstasy; Pre-Raphaelite recluse. III. In the center’s a filmy mirror, Dusty-looking glass; You rub it till it’s clearer And see a skull-faced lass— Yourself…at Requiem Mass.
