Usually I love it, but sometimes... no. Take Rossetti's "How Sir Galahad Sir Bors and Sir Percival were fed with the Sanc Grael but Sir Percival's sister died by the way":

 So stiff, and the title always makes me laugh. "My sister DIED, by the way!"

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I have this, Arthur Hughes' Ophelia, on my wall. Not exactly pre-Raphaelite but influenced by it.

    "It is a matter of grave importance that Fairy tales should be respected.... Whosoever alters them to suit his own opinions, whatever they are, is guilty, to our thinking, of an act of presumption, and appropriates to himself what does not belong to him." -- Charles Dickens

    Another good pre-Raphaelite painting:
