Beschreibung
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. BY Heaven, says Biron in Love's Labour's Lost, I do love; and it hath taught me to rhyme and to be melancholy. By far the greatest part of the influence of women upon poetry has hitherto been of the unconscious kind; they have been the subject and the inspiration of many poems. In civilisations where the conscious intelligence of men treated women as altogether inferior, this was the only direct influence possible. In Greece, for example, it is clear that man saw in woman no other end than to minister to his pleasure or to become the mother of his children. It is also clear that there must have been women to help Euripides to the liberal view expressed in the Medea and the Alcestis, to his sympathy with the dumb and age-long protest of the weaker against the stronger sex: who they were we shall never know. The position of women was not better in Rome, though here as everywhere, and at all times, a woman of magical or grand character could make her own world.
