FOR ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING: A Tribute IMAGE: A 12-pointed mandala in memory of a 19th Century poet Shu: Elizabeth Barrett Browning: how much of her poetry is actually remembered? Juanita: Perhaps a better question would be, "What do you actually remember of her?" Ella: With poetry, quantity is less important than quality. If you remember a single poem clearly, that is significant. Jack: Well, I consider her Sonnets from the Portuguese a work of genius. Moreover, I am fond of her post-humous My Heart and I. I must confess that many of her poems seem dated, but soon enough so will ours. Ella: Indeed. Now and then I find myself re-reading some of her works. At an age when men dominated all literary fields, it's refreshing to hear a female voice. Jack: (nonchalantly) Male, female, and in between – the divisions seem arbitrary! What matters now is simple: where is my cup of tea? ===================================================================================== from Lit-A-Rupture: A Post Literary Construction by T Newfields SUMMARY: An art work & discussion about Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
