Arthur Henry Adams - The New Woman.Arthur Henry Adams - The New Woman.
Work rating: Low


THE stone that all the sullen centuries, With sluggish hands and massive fingers rude, Against the sepulchre of womanhood Had sternly held, she has thrust back with ease, And stands, superbly arrogant, the keys Of knowledge in her hand, won by a mood Of daring, in her beauty flaunting nude, Eager to drain life`s wine unto the lees. So she shall tempt and touch and try and taste, And in the wrestle of the world shall lose Her dimpled prettiness, her petals bruise; But moulding ever to a truer type She shall return to man, no more abased His counterpart, a woman, rounded, ripe.
