The Rossettis return from honeymoon to a proposal from Millais; to preserve the Brotherhood they should all move into his house. They agree, out of financial need, as Ruskin has dropped Lizzie as his pupil - on the grounds of her marriage - in favour of a very young girl. Annie, dumped by her lord, turns down proposals from Hunt and Fred, vowing to bag herself another peer. She does, however, obtain hush money from Hunt not to publish his saucy love letters to her. A slighted Fred resolves only to tell the truth, starting by telling Lizzie (whom he still loves) he believes her husband aims to start an affair with Jane, his latest model and betrothed of Morris. Lizzie overdoses on laudanum and dies. Fred lies to her family about the note she left, claiming it was an accident to spare their feelings. Rossetti is tormented, believing he did not love Lizzie enough. All the same he does rescue his love poems to her from her grave. They will sell after all. Hunt returns to the Middle East whilst the other painters establish their commune.

00:00They're
01:29be the usual rate. Well, that's all right then. Johnny had a big idea while you were
01:36away. I can see that. Johnny has a proposal which I believe will excite you all. My capital
01:44idea is this. I feel that our success has taken us apart somewhat and well I for one
01:51miss our previous brotherly love. I miss our mutual critiques. I miss us boys. I miss us.
01:59Our former idealistic selves. Well, if you ever miss the poverty feel free to drop in
02:03and see us. You're hardly poor. But since now two of our number are settled into matrimonial
02:08bliss and hunt is surely not beyond finding a wife. I need to wrestle Annie back from
02:11the arms of that toff. Really? We have this large and beautiful house and Johnny and I
02:18think that it would be delicious if we could all live here together under the same roof.
02:25An artistic colony. That's beautifully put Wombat. So what do you say? The gang back
02:32together, the reunion and Fred too of course is our chronicler extraordinaire. Perhaps
02:36one day I too shall find a wife. Miracles do happen I suppose. Now that's a top rate
02:43idea. Are you quite certain you can change Annie's mind? Fred is going to find her and
02:47deliver a heartfelt plea. Excellent. Count us amongst your number. The revolutionaries
02:52are back. I'll effing call for the girl and tell her to fetch the best sherry.
03:22How many times? We're married. Our marriage doesn't change your personality. It does not
03:37change the fact that you're attracted to Annie Miller and she to you. I'm appalled that you
03:42should trust me so little. Absolutely appalled. And why would I not trust you in a house full
03:47of models hmm? Let me think. I swear on my life that Annie Miller has no hold over me.
03:53She has no place in my heart. Any feelings I've had for her are as dead as yesterday's
03:58candles. I have one obsession and that's you. You're enough for me. My God you're enough
04:07for Annie man.
04:37When do I see thee most beloved one? When in the light the spirits of mine eyes, before thy face
04:57their altar, solemn night.
05:02Fred, you are a better friend than Hunt deserves. I'm simply acting the messenger but I do think
05:20this is a genuine attempt at reconciliation. Which I'm afraid is what we in polite society
05:26would consider neither appropriate nor desirable. So he has stood by you then Lord Rosterly? No he
05:34has not. Twat! He's become engaged to a woman from a more fitting background. I'm sorry you
05:41do not deserve that. So you are in a position to accept Hunt's offer then. Would it be such a bad
05:49thing? I think it is neither appropriate nor desirable. Annie, Annie this is me Fred. You don't
05:56need to pretend and if nothing else it would mean you and I could be friends again. Unless you want
06:06to offend me Fred then I suggest you change the topic of conversation. I see. Well goodbye then.
06:17Goodbye.
06:28Queen Guinevere, it was your poem that gave me the idea. She has the look, she has the hair.
06:35Surely your poem took her as its inspiration. Jane did in fact sit for William and it was most
06:40unsatisfactory. It was a painting. I could not paint Jane so I loved her instead. I've taken the
06:48liberty of doing a few preliminary sketches. Why would you draw her on a small cloth? Food
06:55spills. Damn you Soviet! That was all I had to hand at the wedding. You made sketches of William's
07:03sweetheart at your own wedding? It was during Lizzie's father's speech. It was either that or
07:08stab myself to death with a cake fork. I tried to do that once. More than once. There is a certain
07:12way the light catches a threat. Stuck in my shoulder the fork in question. So I have your
07:19blessing if Jane agrees to sit for me. No woman or man needs asking to sit for Rossetti. No man or
07:27woman needs asking that. Excellent. Come to my studio tomorrow and we'll make a start. I still
07:32have the scars.
07:32So I really did buy it then? Really did.
08:01I bought it for you. I thought you had a fondness for Bullfinch. I do. But that's a canary you dullard.
08:10A canary? A canary. Really? Does that at least end me a sly fondle? I love nothing more but
08:23Ruskin awaits. I've been back for three days and you'll be thinking that I have forgotten him.
08:27I love birds so.
08:58It is the most lovely thing. Do you not think so William? I think perhaps Jane is hinting for a bird
09:05of her own William. Oh yes yes of course. How much would you take for it? I'm not entirely sure what it's
09:11worth. I've been drinking. Oh yes. Never mix drink and caged wings. Beats, songs, birds as the saying goes.
09:20Let me just. For God's sake William I was only moving your head. Oh no no no. Your bedroom you
09:29should dress entirely with Lizzie's paintings and the living room with your own. I shall get to it at once.
09:35Very well.
10:06My dear Lizzie how lovely to see you. And you and you. You were expecting me were you not?
10:15I think you should come in.
10:35I don't understand. Whose are all these? Well surely you did not expect our relationship to carry on
10:50unaffected by your new status. It would be inappropriate now for anyone other than your
10:57husband to support you. Gabriel cannot support me. We can hardly afford the rent on a new lodgings.
11:02Well I will continue to buy Gabriel's work. Indeed I think he never draws better than when he's
11:10drawing you. So this is your desire? That I retreat to modeling and cease our arrangement? I have a
11:17student in Rose and you have Gabriel so therefore no longer have any need of me.
11:32William tells me you met at the theater. That is one way of putting it. I was working.
11:59So you're an actress? No I was selling flowers. Violets I'd picked from the roadside. Nothing as
12:07grand as an actress. So you consider an actress grand? I consider any fate beyond the gallows
12:14grand. I don't think you'd ever be hanged. You'd be pardoned on account of your beauty. Is that
12:23how you think justice should work? Absolutely. I'm sure William will put an end to your poverty.
12:31A proposal is surely just around the corner. I think love might have to grow before that. I
12:37suspect it was love at first sight for William. For William not for me. Kneel down O love kneel
12:47down he said and sprinkle the dusty snow over my head. That's wonderful. Perhaps in the future
12:56you might want to use the time that Jane is sitting for me to work on your poetry.
12:59And your designs. Ned showed me some of your designs. That is where I feel your your future
13:10really lies. You do trust me don't you? With my life. I'm glad of it. Lizzie back so soon.
13:41What is it? Ruskin no longer wishes to mend on me. I have lost Ruskin. Is that possible? By marrying you I have lost Ruskin.
14:00I beg of you John if only for the sake of Lizzie's sanity please resume your interest in her work. I
14:08will always remain interested in her work but perhaps it will not be my principal interest
14:13from now on. Then man to man could I beg of you for the sake of my sanity. I have a new pupil as
14:21you can see. Miss Latouche surely you cannot be serious. Rose would you leave us alone for a
14:35moment please. So how did you discover your latest protege? Her mother wrote to me and asked me to give
15:02her lessons in drawing and painting. A mother offers up her young daughter when she learns of
15:08the peculiar circumstances of your divorce. What precisely is your meaning? It's of no matter. I can
15:17see that you have no intention of seeing sense over Lizzie so I'm simply wasting my time. No I
15:22insist I insist you explain the implication of your last remark. I speak as someone who loves
15:31you John and who owes you a great debt of gratitude. Without you and your support I
15:37discovered that when a friend lists your good qualities then an insult is short-fallen. You
15:42can see it John surely you did not consummate your marriage with your wife and people will
15:49speculate forever about the reason for that. But when they see that your companion is little more
15:58than a child then they may well conclude that you're attracted to children in a way that is
16:05altogether inappropriate. Well you must desist from judging the whole of the human race by your
16:10own sordid standards. I'm merely saying what people will think. And how long have you cared
16:15what people think Gabriel? I thought you were a rebel. Do you like Rose LaTouche?
16:32Let me tell you what I like Gabriel. I like the company of children and of young people and I like
16:43art. I love art and ideas and nature and as for the rest the inappropriate appetites the sexual
17:00desire. It's not something I feel and because of that I come under constant suspicion and am the
17:12target of the most vicious gossip and speculation both from strangers and even now from my friends.
17:18I'm sorry? Consider your own life Gabriel led by lust and cravings from one woman to the next never
17:28settling never satisfied distracted from your true vocation by the chance of some sordid moist
17:38grunting encounter or another. I was to say that my grunting encounters aren't in fact my true
17:43vocation. Look at your own life and tell me who is the damaged man in this room? Who is the man
17:48who has no control over his feelings? I have always defended you against the most rank and
17:54sordid accusations. Well that does not give you the right to judge me.
18:08Me? Driven by lust? How dare he? Outrageous slur. I think lust within a marriage is a holy thing Gabriel
18:20which leads me to this. Boris would it mind? What's the matter with you? Why don't you ask our very own
18:29Jeremiah over there? What? Annie means to marry anyone but Hunt. Fred you could have expressed
18:34that more delicately. Now Fred has taken it upon himself to tell the truth at all times regardless
18:39of other people's feelings like an Old Testament prophet. I've devised an elaborate color code for
18:44rooms and shared areas. Do you think I'm driven by lust Fred? I think that we have all been distracted
18:49by lust but you have let it be your leading light your rudder your pole star. Effie has devised an
18:57elegant rotor for meals shared and meals eaten alone. We need our intimacy hours after all.
19:02Morrison you've known me a briefer time than these boys and might not have your judgment
19:08queered by bitterness and envy. Do not ask me Gabriel I really do not have any knowledge of
19:14physical intimacy. Hunt since you will no longer be bringing a wife would you mind terribly being
19:19based in the summer house? What neither of you? Can you forget we were destined for a very different
19:24calling before we met you. In the spire. Abuse. Vicar. Church. Are you seriously telling me you haven't had
19:31the pleasure of Miss Burden yet? When left alone we play hide-and-seek. But your poem about spraying
19:37dusty snow onto your lover's head that was... what? About snow what else? Oh boys it's time we visited
19:52the gardens.
20:12Surely you're not proposing that William betrays Jane? Do you like to eat meals with Jane? Yes.
20:19Then do you not betray her every time you dine alone? An analogy that does a gross disservice to
20:24your intelligence Gabriel. Not worthy. You will leave the gardens happier man. You sir are married. I know
20:31unto a woman I love. My motives are just as much a mystery to me as they are to you but
20:37I can't stop. You speak of love as though it is a mighty thing and yet you would betray it for...
20:43Straight hit. Perhaps we overrate the importance of sex and underrate the strength of love. I don't know.
20:59I think perhaps William we should be getting home.
21:05Annie?
21:10Annie!
21:12Annie!
21:16Annie!
21:20This isn't fun sir. Annie! Annie! What are you doing here? Are you working again? I am working.
21:29Would you care to sit for me? No Gabriel. I do not think that would be an at all good idea.
21:36Oh come on Annie. Is it such a repellent thought? You married Lizzie. You married the poor girl so
21:43the least you can do is try to be a husband. So it's come to this is it? Lectured on morality by a
21:49whore. Who better than a whore? She sees men for what they are every day of her life. Go and see
21:55Hunt then. He adores you. Surely Hunt is better than this.
21:59Isn't that funny Sam? Back to your grove.
22:29So
22:59thank you
23:29so
23:45um
23:56what are you doing? Writing.
24:05Read it to me. I've barely begun and it's just a silly thing about you and the canary.
24:16Read it.
24:21She fluted with her mouth as when one sips and waved her golden head brave head and kind
24:33outside his cage close to the window blind till her sweet bird with little chirps and dips piped
24:41low of his sweet companionship and when he stopped she took some seed I vow and fed him from a rosy
24:49tongue which now peeped as a piercing bud between her lips. And you wrote that just for me? Just for
24:58you. What have you been saying to William about me? I always tell him you're a stunner and no
25:08mistake that he's lucky to have you. Well he's took you at your word. He's asked me to marry him.
25:13Has he now?
25:19What should I say to him? Do you love him? I love him. He's rich, he's kind, he's gentle.
25:26He is loud and he is fat and he's hairy. Spoken like a lover.
25:34I want you to tell me to marry him. It's not my business. I think it is
25:39because I think it is you that I truly love.
26:09Rosetti said that I should come to see you.
26:16Annie, I can barely believe you've come back to me.
26:22I prayed and it seems yet again God has answered my prayers.
26:29As you may have heard Lord Rosterly broke off our engagement. The man is a top and a rake.
26:35Two things I hate most in the world. A gentleman's prerogative as I have discovered
26:39to make promises he has no intention of keeping. Not this time.
26:45We will be married immediately. No, no we will not. I've grown up these past few months and I
26:54know better than to believe a promise from you or any man. Then why are you here if it isn't
27:00to accept my proposal? I've been reading your old love letters. They're very prettily put.
27:08I don't know about that. Full of declarations of love and very vivid descriptions of my
27:14secret places and your lustful preferences. Such detail. The colour, the shape, the texture.
27:28Enough to make a lady blush. Well as you know I was and indeed am very taken with your secret
27:35places. And I was thinking as my tears fell onto your pretty letters. I was thinking that now you
27:44are famous and respectable it would be a terrible and embarrassing thing if those letters were to
27:51fall into the wrong hands. Wrong hands? Why would they fall into the wrong hands? Well that's just
27:56it. They needn't need they. And for a small consideration I can make sure of that by destroying
28:02them. A small consideration? I mean a small... You blackmailing me? I'm just playing the hand I've
28:14been dealt Hunty. Why would any of these galleries be interested in me? I have excellent contacts in
28:23all of them. I made Hunt an absolute fortune and I can do the same for you if you would just let me.
28:28Very sweet Fred but Gabriel and I are going to concentrate on starting a family. Starting a
28:34family? You and Gabriel? Is that so strange for man and wife? I suppose not.
28:43I think it would be a dreadful mistake. Fred you're a sweet man and for that reason I should
28:48choose not to take offense. I would risk offending you if it would dissuade you from
28:52the folly of having a child with Gabriel. What has got into you? I've decided to be honest from now on
28:58and I honestly think that Gabriel cannot be relied upon as a father or a husband.
29:04Does he have a lover?
29:09Do you know something? What is it Fred?
29:12I cannot help but suspect that he is planning to have an affair with Jane Burden.
29:19William Morris's sweetheart? She is poor, she is beautiful, she is in awe of Gabriel and she
29:26belongs to someone else. All qualities which Gabriel finds irresistible. I'm only telling
29:31you this because I love you Lizzie and because I fear for you and because you do not deserve
29:37such treatment. Fred you're a good friend. I cannot believe what you've just told me. I will
29:43not believe it. It is your loyalty that makes me love you even more. Poor lovely, loyal Fred.
30:02What are you doing? My god what are you doing? I'm sorry. Just go. I'm sorry I thought that
30:07you wanted me to kiss you. You have to soften me up with tales of Gabriel's infidelity. How dare you?
30:13Go, please go. Please leave.
30:24Tea Gabriel? Yes thank you. Where's your cup Charlotte? Are you well Lizzie? I'm quite well
30:31just a little tired. Then we'll find that the first few months of marriage do that to a woman Lizzie.
30:35Familiarity blunts desire sooner or later. Where did you get these dainties from again Gabriel?
30:42Uh it's a little bakery called the Golden Door. They are delicious aren't they Mr Siddle? I prefer more
30:49masculine confectionery. They're some muse. I'm taking a break from my art for a while. Really?
30:56You were doing so very well. Your artistic nature flourishing and revealing your true character. Gabriel and I are going to have a baby.
31:03A baby? A baby. Coming together of two great bloodlines. Great day, great day. Congratulations Gabriel.
31:11Thank you. Oh what an enchanting surprise. Indeed it is. Oh my clever girl. Come on now, have this nice cake.
31:20Put some sugar in your tea. You need to get some carrot and cheese. Are you completely insane? We are
31:26going to have child one day. One day? With God's will. But you're not with child are you? I am not.
31:32So why would you perform that little charade in there just now? Why humiliate yourself in such a way?
31:36I wanted to demonstrate that I made the right decision in marrying you. By making up a stupid lie?
31:41I have learned at the feet of the master have I not? What on earth has possessed you? What's the matter
31:47with you? Why can't you just be happy? You block me every turn. The only thing you consistently
31:53encourage in me is my use of Lord Knoth. I married you didn't I? You married me because you feel I was dying
31:57Gabriel. We both know that. I married you to save your life and that isn't romantic enough for you. You married
32:03me to save your reputation not my life. You can't even be happy that you finally managed to trap me
32:09in matrimony. Trapped? Is that how you see it? Caged like a damned canary. No you're not like the canary.
32:15The canary is entertaining. I'm not staying here to argue. I'm going. I'll see you at home later.
32:23Where are you going? To see Jane Burden?
32:31What are you talking about? I see the way you look at her. She's low born. She is
32:39assorted with the world of art. She has long flowing hair and could pass for a medieval maid.
32:46She reminds me a lot of me before you beat the life out of me with your fake love and
32:52your false promises. Would any man blame me for seeking a lover right now?
32:56Would God blame me? Let him strike me down if he does.
33:04You see? You've even driven God away.
33:08Don't forget the Lord and I'm for Miss Burden.
33:12Don't do me that. My God don't do me that.
33:18So what did you do? What else was I to do? I bought the letters.
33:21She took the money. I do not believe that Annie would be so underhand. She deserves some
33:25compensation for the way I treated her. If she had merely asked, I would have given her the money.
33:33Fred Waters!
33:36Why did you tell Lizzie I was having an affair with Jane Burden? Because I thought it most
33:41likely. You thought it most likely? Well thank you for ruining my marriage on the basis of a
33:47scurrilous lie. Whenever you and I have a tiff, we make friends by devising new nicknames for each
33:51other. I think that there is only one man who is ruining your marriage, Gabriel, and that is you.
33:56Effie likes to call me Mr. Crumpet. She calls me Vesuvius. I wish I had never met
33:59Lizzie damn Siddle. And why did I meet her? Because of this man! This writer!
34:09She ruined my life and he introduced me to her. But it is not your life that stands in ruins as a
34:14consequence of your meeting each other, Gabriel. You prick! Think about the artistic quality.
34:20Resolve our differences. She is the fairest, the cleverest, the gentlest, the funniest,
34:25and you treat her like something that clings to you.
34:28You have been visited by an angel and all you can do is pick at her wings.
34:37You're right, of course. She's the best woman in the world and I can't see it.
34:43Why is it I can only appreciate her when somebody else wants her?
34:47I don't think that Fred said he wanted Lizzie exactly, did you, Fred?
34:50I did, actually, because I do want her. I do!
34:54I'm not sure that's the wiser statement to make in the circumstances.
34:58This man, this...
35:04good friend...
35:05This prophet in the wilderness is coming home with me right now!
35:18Gabriel, I'm really not certain this is such a good idea.
35:21Don't desert me now!
35:22Damn it all, Gabriel! I made an inappropriate approach to Lizzie just yesterday.
35:29I tried to kiss your wife, Gabriel, and she slapped me hard for my pains
35:34and now I expect you to do the same.
35:37You tried to kiss her?
35:38I did.
35:39And she slapped you?
35:41She did.
35:46Of course you did! Why wouldn't you? You love her!
35:50And I keep implying that I don't,
35:53which is why you must come home with me right now and give Lizzie the chance to choose.
35:58I'll declare my love and then you'll declare yours and then Lizzie can make a choice.
36:03But you are her husband.
36:05I want to see her well again, Fred. I want to see her happy.
36:09And if that means sacrificing her to another, then so be it.
36:15He's clearly sleeping. Perhaps we should come back tomorrow.
36:19No, we must do this now. Don't move.
36:23I'll find a lamp.
36:32I told you not to move! You keep bumping into things.
37:03Go and get help. Go! Go and get help! Run for God's sake!
37:13You do not die. You dare not die! Please don't die. Please, Lizzie.
37:24Oh, Sid. Lizzie, please, please. Please don't die. Please.
37:31Oh, my God. Lizzie. Lizzie, please. Please. Please. Please. Please don't die. Please.
37:38Lead the way, sir. Lead the way.
37:40Winner!
37:42Lizzie, doctor, please. Lizzie, you've had to save me.
37:45Gabriel, the doctor's here.
37:47Let me have a look, sir.
37:48Gabriel, come on. Let the doctor do his work.
37:51Gabriel, please. Please, sir. Please.
37:53Oh, Lizzie. I'm so sorry.
38:01No! No!
38:28Drink this.
38:31I'll see you through the next hour.
38:35I don't want to see through the next hour.
38:37You mustn't say this.
38:42I killed her.
38:46She was weak. She took too much, Lorden. You mustn't blame yourself.
38:51That isn't what she thought.
38:55I know that isn't what she thought.
38:58Gabriel, you're tired. You are ill with grief. You're not making sense.
39:08She left a note, Fred.
39:12She left a note.
39:23She took her own life.
39:27Oh, no.
39:39What a terrible thing.
39:42I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
39:47Were you there when she died?
39:49No. Fred and I were out, and we returned. We found her.
39:54Found her?
39:55On the floor.
39:57She passed out. That is to say, she passed away on the floor.
40:01Where were you? Where were you not with her?
40:03I had business to attend to.
40:05She died alone. You let her die alone.
40:08But the doctor thinks the Lordenum... She would not have known any pain.
40:11The Lordenum?
40:13She had a weakness.
40:14Yes. She had a weakness.
40:27Did you tell them about the note?
40:38Their hearts were already broken.
40:40They have a right to know the truth.
40:46I know what you think of me, Fred.
40:50I know you think I'm merely protecting my own reputation.
40:53But if word gets out about this,
40:55it'll be her reputation that suffers the last indulgence.
41:00It'll be her name that will be disgraced.
41:03If you don't tell them, Gabriel, then I will.
41:08I can't stop you.
41:09I can't stop you.
41:21Gabriel.
41:25I'm sorry, I have no words.
41:28Let God be comfort to you.
41:30Thank you, my poor friend.
41:34My poor brother.
41:37My poor brother.
42:09My poor brother.
42:39Charlotte.
42:53I'm sorry for your loss.
42:55Thank you, Fred.
42:58I wanted to say that I feel responsible in some way
43:04for Lizzie becoming a part of a world where she...
43:09I sat in this room and made solemn promises
43:11that I would look after her.
43:14Lizzie would never have been happy as a hat shop girl.
43:17She never fitted in the circumstances
43:19in which she found herself.
43:20Ah, reason for that.
43:22Please, Mr Siddle.
43:23Aristocracy in her blood.
43:24For God's sake.
43:25She's chewing off and you know it.
43:27I know no such thing.
43:28No such thing.
43:30I will no longer endure your laughable and pathetic claims
43:34to be descended from greatness.
43:36You are not great.
43:37We are not great.
43:39You're a knife sharpener with a shop.
43:42And out of respect for our dead daughter,
43:43can we stop pretending we'll ever be anything else?
43:45Can I just ask that of you?
43:59She's...
44:02Well, she's grief and such.
44:06It's, uh, it's different for me.
44:10You know, with my background and history.
44:22Just...
44:30If you will excuse me,
44:32I had not intended to be so rude.
44:35I did it to make a painful situation worse.
44:40Did Lizzie kill herself?
44:47I don't know how I or anyone else would know that.
44:50Well, if Lizzie killed herself,
44:52I know she would have left a note.
44:53I know she would have left some sort of message for me.
44:55The Lord and Madam had taken a grip of herself.
44:57I am talking of her intentionally taking her own life.
45:01Will you tell me, did she leave a note?
45:04Will you tell me the truth about the sister I loved and cherished
45:07and warned against her terrible marriage to that terrible man?
45:10Lizzie and Gabriel were born to be together.
45:13Neither of us cares much for that fact, but I'm afraid it is true.
45:16Did she kill herself?
45:28No, she did not.
45:31There was no note.
45:38Rossetti was right.
45:41He is always right.
45:43I lied to protect Charlotte, not Rossetti.
46:00I lied to protect Charlotte, not Rossetti.
46:30This is her picture as she was.
46:53It seems a thing to wander on,
46:55as though mine image in the glass should tarry when myself am gone.
47:25Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
47:54And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
47:57As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.
48:01World without end. Amen.
48:06And now, Lizzie's sister Charlotte would like to read a poem that Lizzie wrote.
48:16No.
48:23Lizzie gave this to me a few days before she died.
48:26It is, I believe, a poem about her and Gabriel, and the love they shared.
48:34I'll never weep for love that's dead, since love is seldom true,
48:40but changes his fashion from blue to red, and brightest red to blue.
48:46Love was born to an early death, and is so seldom true.
48:52If the merest dream of love were true, then sweet we should be in heaven.
48:58And this is only earth, my dear, where true love is not given.
49:16Amen.
49:21The Lord bless her and keep her.
49:23The Lord make his face to shine upon her, and be gracious unto her, and give her peace.
49:30Amen.
49:34No, she's not dead.
49:38Oh, for God's sake, can't you see?
49:39She's not at peace because she thinks I did not love her.
49:42She comes to me all the time.
49:46A ghost comes to me.
50:13I wrote these for you, my love, so they must rest with you.
50:28Why could I not have loved her with this intensity when she was alive?
50:34You cannot be alone, Gabriel.
50:37You must move in immediately with me and Effie, as we planned.
50:42Live with us, Jane and I.
50:45She's scared to be under the same roof with just me.
50:48I'm sure that's not true.
50:50Hang on, Morris.
50:51An artistic colony was my idea.
50:53She said she would marry me on one condition, that we were never alone.
50:57Or demand for a marriage.
50:59Possibly a necessary one in William's case.
51:01Is it true?
51:03I am difficult, clumsy man of great delicacy.
51:09What if I were to move in with you instead, maniac?
51:12I'm afraid I'm going back to Palestine, Gabriel.
51:15I know you've never been one to take my advice, but I'd move in with Morris.
51:22Be a new beginning.
51:24And if anyone was in need of a new beginning, Gabriel, then it is you.
51:28And Lizzie's ghost will follow me there.
51:32She'll follow me there.
51:33I didn't believe you loved her.
51:34We've talked of this.
51:35Let me go on.
51:36I did not believe you loved her until I saw you throw your poems into the grave.
51:43I know how much they mean to you.
51:46Well, I can't look at them again.
51:51Not just to you, but to others.
51:53I don't know about that.
51:55They were just idle scribbling.
51:57No.
51:59It was their quality that made your decision all the more remarkable.
52:03They were clearly published by a man.
52:07This is her picture as she was.
52:11It seems a thing to wander on.
52:15As though my image in the glass should tarry when myself am gone.
52:21You memorized it?
52:22We both did.
52:24We thought in many ways they were your greatest work.
52:30Really?
52:36Yeah.
52:48Any sign?
52:49I think perhaps there.
52:53It's the poems, Gabriel.
52:56We found the poem.
52:59Completely undamaged.
53:00It's a miracle.
53:01It's God's will, William.
53:04Surely it's God's will.
53:07I have the thread.
53:12God has returned them to me.
53:15I look at Gabriel as he says this.
53:18And I look at myself.
53:21And I realize that I will never believe another word he says.
53:25I am finally free.
53:36So
53:56you
