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!"

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