unfortunately, my brain repelled the words as i tried to read. i know if i saw select quotes from this that i would swoon for them. however, as a reading experience this was dense and repetitive and my brain refused to absorb anything 🥲

Didn't even get halfway through the first piece. Running on and on, the use of ellipses... another example of fine content but owch form.

You are not thrown to the winds .. you gather certainly and safely around yourself, 
Yourself! Yourself! Yourself forever and ever!

There is beauty in every verse, especially in the descriptiveness of the early American pastoral landscape.

I'll just leave this here:
The female contains all qualities and tempers them... she is in her place... she moves with perfect balance,
She is all things duly veiled...she is both passive and active...
