Decorations for William Morris's verse play "Love is Enough" of 1871 The central panel appears to refer to the following verse :- Live on, for Love liveth, and earth shall be shaken By the wind of his wings on the triumphing morning, When the dead, and their deeds that die not shall awaken, And the world's tale shall sound in your trumpet of warning And the sun smite the banner called Scorn of the Scorning, And dead pain ye shall trample,dead fruitless desire, As ye wend to pluck out the new world from the fire Memorials Vol 2 p 23 cites Burne-Jones's excitement at the prospect of making designs for William Morris's poem which he states in a letter to Norton "it will come out sometime next Summer (1872) and I shall make little ornaments to it". Georgiana comments that "one full page design was completed and some smaller ones begun , as well as several borders that Morris drew and engraved himself, but there were so many difficulties in the whole scheme that it had to be laid aside..." The foreshortening of the recumbent figures at Love's fee, echo those in The Last Judgment by Signorelli in Orvieto Cathedral, which he had recently visited.
