Description A wallpaper featuring the 1894 version of Ophelia, as painted by John William Waterhouse. He painted three different paintings of Ophelia, and I like all of them!!

The text is actually readable this time, lol. As might be expected, it's taken from Shakespeare's Hamlet:

There's rosemary, that's for remembrance;
pray, love, remember:
and there is pansies. that's for thoughts.
There's fennel for you, and columbines: there's rue
for you; and here's some for me: we may call it
herb-grace o' Sundays: O you must wear your rue with
a difference. There's a daisy: I would give you
some violets, but they withered all when my father
died: they say he made a good end,--
For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy.
