You were wrong In much? you... «Aurora Leigh»
innashpitzberg23 мая 2013You were wrong In much? you said so. I was wrong in most. Oh, most! You only thought to rescue men By half means, halfway, seeing half their wants,
While thinking nothing of your personal gain. But I who saw the human nature broad At both sides, comprehending too the soul's, And all the high necessities of Art, Betrayed the thing I saw, and wronged my own life For which I pleaded. Passioned to exalt The artist's instinct in me at the cost Of putting down the woman's, I forgot No perfect artist is developed here From any imperfect woman. Flower from root, And spiritual from natural, grade by grade In all our life. A handful of the earth To make God's image!
