personification conventionally endows a figure with the agency of a person... woman as personified abstraction whose personal agency is suspended

Germaine Greer seems to take at face value Victorian women poets' pretense of private, uncritical writing.

L.E.L. makes Sappho express regret for her poetic/musical career, which "poisoned" her life.

Revisionary readings of the canon by feminist critics often assume a rhetoric of loss, in fact, as if it is only by losing women poets that we can read them anew.

Sappho's suicidal leap from the Leucadian Cliff into the waters before is her immersion in a larger rhythmic body Oh, man. That's kind of clever, metaphorically, and I get her point, but saying stuff like that about suicide really makes me nervous.

I pray thee sigh not, speak not, drawn not breath;/Let life burn down and dream it is not death./I would the sea had hidden us, the fire/(Wilt thou fear that, and fear not my desire?)/Severed the bonse that bleach, the flesh that cleaves/And let our sifted ashed drop like leaves. Racy, Swinburne! Also, kinda disturbed.
