| Description |
From the book The Quiver of Love: A Collection of Valentines Ancient and Modern, a collection of love poems published in 1876, illustrated by Walter Crane and Kate Greenaway (source). The illustration was created for "The Surprise", a translation of a German poem by Heinrich Heine (source: Google Play eBook edition page 44, 45). It reads:
I dreamt I saw you yesternight, My name and mission quickly guess — I fear to offer word or sign; I wait until you whisper "Yes." |
