    This has always been one of my favorite paintings! Waterhouse was an amazing artist and I love the poem too. It's funny, but I first heard of it through watching Anne of Green Gables.

    Anita- I agree that he is an amazing artist, and one who captures the mysterious and the romantic, especially, in the women he painted. He is truly one of my favorites.

    Tea- I was going to list the poem, but it's way too long. I love the painting, too.
