This is a complex poem that, to be fully understood, needs explanation of Rossetti’s contradictory views on gender and womanhood.
When a teenager Rossetti veered towards feminism, and toyed with the idea of supporting women’s votes and even women serving as Members of Parliament.
Irrespective of t...
Woman was made for man's delight,--
Charm, O woman! Be not afraid!
His shadow by day, his moon by night,
Woman was made.
Her strength with weakness is overlaid;
Meek compliances veil her might;
Him she stays, by whom she is stayed.
World-wide champion of truth and right,
Hope in gloom, and in danger aid,
Tender and faithful, ruddy and white,
Woman was made.
