So The Pre Raphaelites, something I've been studying for many years
Just looking at their work
It's not just something I stumbled upon
But I did stumble upon, in one of the books when I was in Ireland,
This I guess, wood carving by
(if I don't say it right forgive me)
By Dante Gabriel Rossetti for a songbook during the nineteenth century
(I'd say during maybe 1839 something like that)
And I wasn't investigating the song
I was completely transfixed by what I was seeing so that
When I was looking at this wood carving, a print of it,
I started hearing the maids singing to me and I started wondering what their message would be then and in the twenty-first century and that's how I was taken by them seduced by them in a way
