My lady seems of ivory

Forehead, straight nose, and cheeks that be

Hollow'd a little mournfully.

_Beata mea Domina!_

---

Her full lips being made to kiss,

Curl'd up and pensive each one is;

This makes me faint to stand and see.

_Beata mea Domina!_

Did William Morris influence to H G Wells's The Time Machine?

H G Wells knew Morris slightly, and in his autobiography (1934) writes about visiting Morris’s house in Hammersmith, where the socialists held meetings. The type of Society is different (Morris is more optimistic) but the Eloi definitely reflect the Utopian ideas of the period which both men seem to have shared.

From medieval monks to William Morris and J. Pierpont Morgan, this stunning page from the legendary Winchester Bible has quite the journey!

The largest extant English Bible of the twelfth century, the Winchester Bible, is preserved in Hampshire, England, at Winchester Cathedral. At some point this leaf was removed, and it subsequently passed among several owners, including the artist, writer, and textile designer William Morris, before J. Pierpont Morgan purchased it in Rome in 1912. It bears the manuscript’s only fully painted page. Our first director Belle Greene included this leaf in a 1933–34 exhibition, describing it as such: “Two pages from a Bible which was probably executed in St. Swithin’s Priory, Winchester, by the scribes and artists of the famous Bible now in the library of Winchester Cathedral. The scenes illustrate events in the lives of David and Samuel.”
