Reading Lovesight | Alexandria
Read Lovesight by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Reimagining love through symbolist poetry, Lovesight pierces conventional romance by portraying desire as a metaphysical force that both elevates and imprisons. Rossetti's radical fusion of physical and spiritual longing challenged Victorian dualism and foreshadowed modern psychology's understanding of how passion shapes perception. His key insight? True sight requires willing blindness.
