From time to time, we like to put together artworks that we feel compliment one another. This week we would like to share with you a wonderful painting from the ever-so-talented artist, Grace Aza-Selinger, and a poem from the English romantic poet, Christina Rossetti. 

'Renewal' by Grace Aza-Selinger describes the feeling of floating on water. it is a painting inspired by nature, in particular a walk through Grunewald Forest in Berlin - it is also available to buy here. 

'Mirage' by Christina Rossetti

The hope I dreamed of was a dream,
Was but a dream; and now I wake
Exceeding comfortless, and worn, and old,
For a dream's sake.

I hang my harp upon a tree,
A weeping willow in a lake;
I hang my silenced harp there, wrung and snapt
For a dream's sake.

Lie still, lie still, my breaking heart;
My silent heart, lie still and break:
Life, and the world, and mine own self, are changed
For a dream's sake.
