Serendipity: last month my wife and I visited the Chicago Institute of Art, which hosts Dante Gabriel Rossetti's "Beata Beatrix". And herein is an essay, heretofore unknown to me, by Swinburne about, among other things, that very painting. It's got me thinking about how the internet has made such art widely available, but how tawdry jpegs are in comparison to seeing the artwork in person.

It's odd that words should change so just by being put into rhyme. They get teeth and bite; they take fire and burn.

I have to add that I had been looking forward to seeing a DGR painting in person for about 25 years. There was also a Gustave Moreau painting in the same room, who is one of my favorite artists ever. I had not seen one of his in person, either, and had been looking forward to seeing one of his paintings for an equally long time. It was a bit of a religious experience for me, so to speak.
