It suffices. What suffices? All suffices reckoned rightly: Spring shall bloom where now the ice is, Roses make the bramble sightly, And the quickening sun shine brightly, And the latter wind blow lightly, And my garden teem with spices. (Part of a poem by Christina Rossetti)

EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Vision of Spring's Renewal in Christina Rossetti's Poetry and the Art of Mary Evans Picture Library In the enchanting verse of Christina Rossetti's poem "It suffices," the poet invites us to contemplate the transformative power of nature and the passage of time. The lines "It suffices. What suffices? All suffices reckoned rightly: Spring shall bloom where now the ice is, Roses make the bramble sightly, And the quickening sun shine brightly, And the latter wind blow lightly, And my garden teem with spices" evoke the beauty and promise of spring, as the harsh winter gives way to new growth and vibrant colors. This evocative passage from Rossetti's poetry is beautifully captured in a 20th-century photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, titled "A Vision of Spring." The image, part of the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection, depicts a woman in a red dress, standing among a lush garden filled with roses and other blooming flowers. The sun casts a warm, golden light over the scene, while the bramble, now adorned with roses, adds a decorative touch to the garden's natural beauty. The photograph, reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style, captures the essence of Rossetti's poem, as the woman in the image embodies the renewal and rebirth that comes with the arrival of spring. The image, like the poem, invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of nature and the beauty that can be found in the world around us. Christina Rossetti's poetry and the art of Mary Evans Picture Library offer a glimpse into the richness and depth of English literature and the visual arts. Through the power of words and images, we are transported to a world of beauty, renewal, and the simple joys of spring.
