Venus Verticordia ...



The Goddess has a halo of butterflies above her noble head - 

In one hand she holds a ripe apple, in the other an arrow with a twisting golden point - 

The lower half of her strong naked body is shielded by honeysuckle flowers - 

The thick red tresses of her hair cover her shoulders and upper arms - 

Her gaze is both unsettling and inscrutable - 

Rosetti found his first model in the street, a very large young woman, practically a giantess

I stood inside the sumptuous house - 

The Goddess looked out from her golden frame, reading the secrets of my heart -
