Christmas Crackers (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis page shows an image of two Christmas crackers. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The two crackers stretch across the page horizontally. To the left and right of the page are the ends of the crackers. Their cylinder shapes are nipped in and twisted to make them easier to tear when you pull them apart. Each cracker is covered in a different coloured decorative paper: the red one at the top of the page has a pattern of stars and dots and the blue one at the bottom has a pattern of six-sided snowflakes and dots.
Selected Poems Of Christina Rosetti (PDF)
by Christina Georgina RossettiChristina Rossetti is widely regarded as the most considerable woman poet in England before the twentieth century. No reading of nineteenth century poetry can be complete without attention to this prolific and popular poet. Rosetti's inner life dominates her poetry, exploring loss and unattainable hope. Her divine poems have a freshness and toughness of thought, while many of her love poems are erotic, and as often express love for women as for men. The varied threads of Rossetti's concerns are drawn together in what is perhaps her greatest poem, the strange and ambiguous 'Goblin Market'.
