Algernon Charles Swinburne was an English poet, playwright, novelist, and critic. He was a major contributor to the Pre-Raphaelite movement in poetry, along with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Morris. His greatest works are the verse drama Atalanta in Calydon (1865), written in the form of an Ancient Greek tragedy, and his Pre-Raphaelite Poems and Ballads (1866).
"Ah beautiful passionate body That never has ached with a heart!"
"Our way is where God knows And Love knows where: We are in Loves hand to-day."
"O bitterness of things too sweet!"
"A blatant Bassarid of Boston, a rampant Maenad of Massachusetts."
"The deep division of prodigious breasts, The solemn slope of mighty limbs asleep."
"We shift and bedeck and bedrape us, Thou art noble and nude and antique."
