• Sonnet LX: Transfigured Life (Dante Gabriel Rossetti)
  
  As growth of form or momentary glance
  In a child's features will recall to mind
  The father's with the mother's face combin'd,â€"
  Sweet interchange that memories still enhance:
  And yet, as childhood's years and youth's advance,
  The gradual mouldings leave one stamp behind,
  Till in the blended likeness now we find
  A separate man's or woman's countenance:â€"
  So in the Song, the singer's Joy and Pain,
  Its very parents, evermore expand
  To bid the passion's fullgrown birth remain,
  By Art's transfiguring essence subtly spann'd;
  And from that song-cloud shaped as a man's hand
  There comes the sound as of abundant rain.
