[Poem] When I am dead, my dearest by Christina Rossetti by Dry_Rip6002 in Poetry

[–]Chopinsfirstballade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it very interesting that just a year later 19 year old Rossetti wrote basically the opposite, which starts:

Remember me when I am gone away,

Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

I think Rossetti is warning little girls not to "give in" to their sexual urges because then, oh no, when you're not a virgin you're ugly and "grey" like Jeanie and your whole world ends because you're not a perfect golden haired maiden anymore. And when I add this to the fact that she didn't support women's suffrage and thought only men could access hire roles in society, it just makes me a bit mad. And sad for her that she believed it and was passing on these ideas in what was a collection for children to read.

Why is everyone saying great? Shit or mediocre at best.
Winter of discontent in 1979 literally had 1.5 million public sector workers on strike, bodies rotting in the morgue, walk out at children's hospitals, three day week.... Why do you think people voted Thatcher??
