Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dream of Fair Women The "Dream of Fair Women" has been a favorite study in women´s clubs and seminaries and elsewhere. But a sad drawback to the popular enjoyment of the poem has been the lack of an index or key for the identification of the characters. To be able to name these is an accomplishment which students prize, and which many a teacher of literature lacks; for the personages are not selected generally from the "stock" characters of history. Mary, Queen of Scots, is not in the list, nor is Elizabeth; and one may look in vain for Josephine of France. Some of the characters, indeed, it requires no little research and ingenuity to identify. The first who speaks is Helen of Troy, whose beauty caused a ten years´ war. Of course, it is easy to guess her from the first utterance she makes: "I had great beauty; ask thou not my name; No one can be more wise than destiny. Men drew their swords and died. Where´er I came, I brought calamity." But it is not so easy to identify the second character who speaks. "´My youth,´ she said, ´was blasted with a curse; This woman was the cause."´ Only indirectly was Helen the cause of the "curse´ of the ill-starred Iphigeni´a.
