Bliss Carman, et al., eds. The World’s Best Poetry. Volume VI. Fancy. Poems of Sentiment: I. Time: Ave atque Vale: Rosamund Marriott Watson (–). Sleep will He give His beloved? Not dreams, but the precious guerdon of deepest rest? Aye, surely! Look on the grave-closed eyes, And cold hands folded on tranquil breast. Will not the All-Great be just, and forgive? For He knows (though we make no prayer nor cry) How our lone souls ached when our pale star waned, How we watch the promiseless sky.

Watson). Rosamund Marriott Watson’s poems show an interest in French verse forms and reflect the Aesthetic Movement in their direct, vivid images, impressionist technique, and evocative style. She lauded Alice Meynell’s poetry as “subtle,” evasive, ethereal, strange and beautiful,” but those traits were also applied frequently. They never come back, though I loved them well; I watch the South in vain; The snow-bound skies are blear and grey, Waste and wide is the wild gull's way, And she comes never again. Years agone, on the flat white strand, I won my sweet sea-girl: Wrapped in my coat of the snow-white fur, I watched the wild birds settle and stir, The grey gulls gather and whirl.

Rosamund Marriott Watson was a gifted poet, an erudite literary and art critic, and a daring beauty whose life illuminates fin-de-siecle London and the way in which literary reputations are made and lost. A participant in aestheticism and decadence, she wrote six volumes of poems noted for their subtle cadence, diction, and uncanny effects.
