Elizabeth Barret Browning Poem by Gert Strydom

Elizabeth Barret Browning

Rating: 2.5


Why do the relationships and lives
of Elizabeth Barret Browning,
and Robert Browning in a way
remind me of Héloïse
and Peter Abélard?

Is it the wonderful verses
that they do write to each other
or do Edward Moulton Barret
remind me too much of Canon Fulbert
who did castrate Abélard?
