Dante Gabriel Rossetti | Joan of Arc / Giovanna d'Arco, 1882

This word had Merlin said from of old:-
That out of the Oak Tree Shade,
In the day of France's direst dule,
God's hand should send a Maid.

When I See You | Poem by Pablo Picasso

I have always walked forth, not wanting anything more than what I had already had. I did not need anything at all. I had scoffed at everyone when they said that my life was incomplete.

That was till I had met you. You were the only one who had ever raised the felling of loneliness in me. you were the only one who ever made me realize that my life was always incomplete; and had always been.

My Love Has Withered Away | Poem by Pablo Picasso

I have walked through starless nights not caring what the world cared for

Amidst sighs of desperation and exasperation, i 'ave walked; only for you

you were always like the fresh mist of dawn

Yet, like the honey of the bee.
