What qualities of women are displayed as the point of view brought nearer in the poem?

She was a Phantom of delight



When first she gleamed upon my sight;



A lovely Apparition, sent



To be a moment's ornament;



Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair;



Like Twilight's, too, her dusky hair;



But all things else about her drawn



From May-time and the cheerful Dawn;



A dancing Shape, an Image gay,



To haunt, to startle, and way-lay.



I saw her upon nearer view,



A Spirit, yet a Woman too!



Her household motions light and free,



And steps of virgin-liberty;



A countenance in which did meet



Sweet records, promises as sweet;



A Creature not too bright or good



For human nature's daily food;



For transient sorrows, simple wiles,



Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.



And now I see with eye serene



The very pulse of the machine;



A Being breathing thoughtful breath,



A Traveller between life and death;



The reason firm, the temperate will,



Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill;



A perfect Woman, nobly planned,



To warn, to comfort, and command;



And yet a Spirit



What qualities of women are displayed as the point of view brought nearer in the poem?

Could be real good with just a little more work!



What qualities of women are displayed as the point of view brought nearer in the poem?

submissive and hesitant, timorous and uncertain, susceptible yet insincere and a little loathsome



good luck
