[213] _Jane’s Portrait_ (or _Mary’s Portrait_, as it was sometimes called) is the poem which, under the title of _The Portrait_, was published in Dante Rossetti’s volume of 1870. It was to a great extent re-written before publication. [214] I have no recollection of the poem _Hubert_. [215] It appeared in _The Germ_ under the title _Repining_. [216] This second paper did not come out, and I know nothing further of it. Pity that the opportunity of printing it did not occur. Another thing which did not come out (indeed it was not written) was the projected review, as mentioned above, of W. B. Scott’s _Life of David Scott_. [217] These designs, a series, had been done some years before--very forcible compositions. They were purchased towards 1890 by Sir Henry Irving. [218] No trace of this is extant; I perhaps never saw it. [219] Strange as it may seem to some readers, Dante Rossetti had a strong liking for hair of so vivid and positive a tint that most people would call it red. [220] A sketching club, to which Hunt, Millais, Dante Rossetti, and others (besides Collinson himself), had belonged. [221] This was a painter named Rainford, whom Hunt and my brother had found in the house where they took a joint studio in 1848. He was then a slap-dash (or, as we called it, sloshy) painter, but got converted to the minute detail of the P.R.B. movement. [222] These are the opening words of the grotesque poem (published in _The Germ_) named _An Incident in the Siege of Troy_. [223] This resulted in _The Angel in The House_. [224] Matthew Arnold’s poem. [225] Now called _St. Agnes of Intercession_. [226] I have not now any recollection of Mr. Harston’s poems, have h at all survived the interval since 1850? [227] No such notice was written. Some research was made for MSS. etc. left by Orchard, but nothing worth speaking of was found. Dr. W. C. Bennett (the Ballad-writer), who had been a neighbour of Orchard in the Greenwich district and an intimate of his, took part in this research. [228] A professional model. [229] As I have said elsewhere, we had a fancy for mispronounced “Germ” as “Gurm.” [230] Angus B. Reach, a popular light writer of those days, and Alexander Munro the sculptor. [231] An assault, but hardly a savage one. [232] It was written, I think, by Dr. Waagen. [233] The words in brackets indicate some flaw in the letter. [234] I think it was my brother who fixed upon Deverell as a P.R.B. But the nomination was not fully ratified by others, and it cannot be said that Deverell, who died at an early age, was ever absolutely a P.R.B. [235] The work in question (the most important which Deverell painted) was the subject from Shakespeare’s _Twelfth Night_, recently reproduced in Mr. Percy Bate’s handsome volume _The English Præraphaelite Painters_. [236] Mr. Cayley had lately been a pupil of my father for Italian. [237] This was the pseudonym (for some burlesque ballads &c.) of Sir Theodore Martin.
