Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Triumph of Woman: Prose Essays "Great poets are bisexual; male and female at once, motherly not less than fatherly in their instincts towards little children; from the day when Homer put Astyanax into the arms of Hector to the day when Hugo found the sweetest of all cradle-songs on the lips of the death-stricken Fantine." So wrote Mr Swinburne, in his article on "Tennyson and Musset," and his words are absolutely true. Nor did the principle of divine motherhood, which lies deep at the heart of the universe, ever find nobler human expression than in "Rizpah," the poem which called forth the above remarks. Whatever may have been Tennyson´s limitations, it is safe to say that the author of such profoundly sweet and passionate verses will always rank among great poets. But note that the poem is great just because of the feminine element in it. Yet we feel that a woman could not have written it.
